Hello,
Im am using Brave for several years now.
But now I am thinking about changing to another browser. The simple reason is that with every (automatic) update Brave is getting worse and worse.
Last annoying “features”: Display of “Tabs” in the upper line. If you have many open tabs, this only takes place and I can’t imagine what this is good for.
And what’s the sense that now you can’t edit the content of the input line any more?
Maybe there are commands to inhibit this behaviour, but seems to me they are not communicated.
Greetings,
Bjoern

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?

this is no website or shield specific problem.
If you touch the adress line, it’s content disappears, you can’t edit.
The edit button on the popup ist just one more step to get to edit mode. This is no improvement, this is worse.
And yes, chrome behaves the same way. But I don’t use chrome, I use brave.
And in chrome I don’t find the annoying “Tab” display.

We have an issue opened for this here:

enhancement
feature/user-interface
Chromium/waiting upstream
OS/Android
### Description
On Android, when you tap into the address bar while on a site, … the entire field is cleared. If a user wants to edit the address manually in any way, they have to tap the "edit" button in the options presented in order to do so.
![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e3633ef8-9b82-4da7-8294-3a76079e3f1f)
This seems like an unnecessary additional step for anyone who wants to simply view the full URL or edit it. I believe this is inherited from Chromium, but I think we should remove this functionality.
Perhaps a good middle ground might be tapping in the address bar keeps the URL there but _highlights_ it so that if a user does simply want to start typing and enter a new address, they can still do so easily, while users who simply want to view the URL or edit it manually can do so more quickly.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Launch Brave on Android
2. Visit a site
3. Tap into the address bar
### Actual result
URL disappears
### Expected result
URL/Text should stay
### Reproduces how often
Easily reproduced
