Brave Beta and Nightly only offering two widget options

This isn’t exactly a technical issue—it feels more like a deliberate dev choice. But slashing options from 5 to 2? And keeping the two ugliest widgets? :face_with_steam_from_nose: It looks awful on the Poco X7 Pro. Please, at least bring back the Chromium-style quick action bar. :folded_hands:

Can you be more specific about what exactly it is that you’re referring to? Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your end?

Ofc

This is the widget purge I was talking about. The dinosaur one is useless, sure. But axing the rest?

@brumac53 not sure why you’re only seeing those options – on my end I see all five widget options available.

It may be specific to your OS/theme/version. Can you tell me what OS version you’re using at this time? Also, is the Brave Beta app fully updated? I know that we have some UI compatibility issues with Xiaomi devices, but if that were the case I’d expect the same to be true for the stable build of the app as well.

Sure

Poco X7 Pro, default theme, Android 15.

The issue started today in the beta version after an update. I found this post below while digging into it, but I’m not sure if it’s even related.

That actually does look like the reason you’re seeing it. Just realized my Beta app wasn’t fully updated – now that it is I only see the two options as you do. Looks like this was an intentional decision as per the issue you linked to.

I can only hope this decision will be reconsidered, as the current remaining options do not meet my usage needs. At the very least, retaining the default Chromium widget (Quick Action Bar) would preserve three viable choices. I strongly urge the development team to revisit this matter to ensure both functionality and user preference are prioritized
