Browser Tool Bar Takes up 80% of Page

[Blackcat3295]

This issue started yesterday after I was done playing on Sims 4. The browser was closed while I was playing, and when I opened it, the browser tool bar (the part that has the URL, Menu, Bookmarks Bar, etc) took up four-fifths of my page. I have tried closing and reopening brave several times to no avail. I do have it set to open where I last was, but I’ve had that as a setting since I downloaded brave (several month ago), and the issue is just cropping up now.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Launch Brave
2. See Browser Tool Bar take up 80% of screen.

Expected result:
Brave opens with the broswer tool bar about one-eighth of the screen.
Brave Version:
Version 1.2…42 Chromium 79.0.3945.117 Official Build 64-bit
Additional Information:
Windows 10 1903 18362.592 Desktop

Hi @Blackcat3295
Would you mind posting a screencap of what it looks like for reference? I can see how one might reproduce this.

Thanks!

I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xhsUpLTK10 and this https://www.pcworld.com/article/3160936/10-frustrating-google-chrome-irritations-and-how-to-fix-them.html (On the second one, look for Scaling the Interface)
It would be my edcated guess that due to Brave having a chromium base would also be compatible with this ‘fix’.

Please try it and report back if this alleviates your issue or not.
