Description of the issue:
I’ve used Brave for about 6 mos. Really appreciate it. Much better than all other browsers. I see my tabs bar. A couple days ago, the row about the tabs bar disappeared. I recall a File, Copy and other commands. How do I get it back?

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Nothing to screen shot. Tabs bar is at top of screen.

Expected result:
restore the bar above the Tabs bar

Reproduces how often:

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Win 10
Version 1.13.86 Chromium: 85.0.4183.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Transition would be much easier with a menu bar in place, and facilitat…

Thanks for the explanation. Any plans on making it an option to add, or not add?
