I also noticed this, it’s very annoying and hard to use, please add an option to revert to the old menus. I don’t know how much Brave is tied to Chromium or how it dependent on it, but whatever Google did with version 125 was horrible and now Brave is horrible too, please find a way to fix this.
Nobody likes oversized touch interface on desktop with mouse and keyboard.
yep, CR23 is the reason why I switch from chrome to brave, and now it’s here. Let it know that some people hated this UI.
there’s good news however, the incentive to fix this already exist in front end priority/P3, it will take quite some time to get there, but there’s a chance.
I suggest checking out Firefox. It used to be one of the biggest browsers around, but since Google owns Android OS, once smartphones started getting more popular, Chrome started exploding in users.
Fun fact: Brendan Eich (the CEO and co-founder of Brave) was also the co-founder of Mozilla (the company who makes Firefox).
The problem with Firefox is that they don’t support Chrome extensions.
At the moment, I’ve installed Vivaldi; it’s on Chromium 124.0.6367.243; probably once they upgrade to v126, like Chrome/Brave, it’ll be the same shitty design.
I just switched to Microsoft Edge, they’re on Chromium 126 and they didn’t support the stup!d Chrome Refresh 2023 theme, no need to disable flags or anything! so I’ll stick to Microsoft Edge for now.
I know it’s not a valid reason, but maybe you people have too many extensions on the right click menu? Try to go to the configs of the extensions you don’t use that much and certainly don’t need in the right click menu, and remove them from there.
This exactly! I recently made a switch to Firefox because Brave is riddled with bugs and has inconsistent UI, some features can be disabled completely while others only partially. You have to use Group Policy just to disable annoying crypto-scam related things. Brave Search can’t be disabled at all; even if you change your default search engine to any other, incognito tab/window will always have huge Brave Search right there.
Firefox used to be terrible, and now I find it as the best web browser, literally. It had few annoyances for me, but these are fixed in recent versions. The only thing I miss on Firefox is Shazam extension, nothing else.
Writing direction - why is that even there when my native language does not require/support this feature. This should only be applicable if the detected system language requires it.
Spell Check - Again, if there is only 1 language installed, there is no need for a context menu to trigger spell check, it should be inherent to the system.
Created an account just to add a +1 to this. I’ve accidentally clicked on the wrong option multiple times because the menu scrolls right when as I’m clicking. It’s awful.
