A favorites icon in the toolbar, i.e. like Edge would be a big plus for users who don’t care for the bookmarks bar and prefer a clean browser window.
Brave bookmark management is currently too “Chrome-like” and requires an extra click. A “favorites” icon on the toolbar requires only 1 click to see a simple drop-down or fly-out menu with all of the user’s favorites and folders. This is a no-brainer to me.
I absolutely agree. This is one of the things I use frequently.
My favorite implementation of this is with Firefox currently. The new Chromium Edge browser did something very similar as well.

Chromium Edge:
I understand that Brave just finally fixed their “Other Bookmarks” button on the right. But I would like to be able to hide the bookmarks bar altogether and just have a bookmarks button on the right side of the navigation bar next to the menu icon.
