Shortcuts created with Brave’s ‘More tools > Create shortcut…’ no longer open for me.
The created shortcut app bounces in the dock. before disappearing.
I’ve tested with brave open / closed. Restarted computer, reinstalled browser and created new shortcuts to test.
The open in window is a lifesaver for me. Please fix!

EDIT: Not solved as yet but marking the other thread as the solution for future visitors to this page. Looks like devs are well aware and a fix is in progress.
Thanks @Chocoholic + @289wk
EDIT EDIT: .109 release is working for me. Thanks Dev team.

Same issue here with Brave 1.35.104
Yup. Same. Trying old releases to see if I can get this much-needed functionality back…

Thanks for doing that search. I did see it before I posted here.
unfortch it’s a three year old thread with a solution made for windows computers.
I do think that this is a release issue and something in the code broke this time around.
I’d love to hear from a dev.
