Currently Brave opens the last viewed tab when you open the app. It’d be nice if we had the option to set it to open the homescreen on startup.
This would help all the users who tend to keep tabs open, but need to start something new right away after opening the app. (Similar to how Mull Firefox fork handles it)
Suggestion: Read over the comments:
True, I can make a new tab and then hit the home button.
But having to go through that process every time I open the app is getting a bit much, my suggestion is that they can hopefully let us set it so that we’re just greeted with a the homescreen whenever we open the browser regardless if we already have open tabs.
Sounds like you want the browser to open to a homepage aka “New Tab Page” of your choice.
When the mobile browser starts, by default/design, it displays a homescreen aka “New Tab Page” aka “NTP”.
Some users want to choose a background scene replacement for that NTP.
If your mobile device’s Brave Browser is - upon startup - displaying a NTP, you can add a website widget tile to that display (and you can remove widget tiles):
Settings > New Tab Page > WIDGETS > [Enable] Favorites
For example, by default, after a fresh install of the mobile Brave Browser, the NTP dislays a handful of webpage widget tiles. IIRC, for:
Facebook.comX.comYahoo.comI prefer a clean NTP and remove all those widget tiles.
But, if I were to pick one webpage widget tile to have, I would Enable that Favorites setting, visit the webpage-of-choice, and then click the Share button.
In the resulting window, select “Add to Favorites”
That would place a widget tile icon representing the website, onto the NTP.
When starting up Brave Browser, I would click that widget tile.
Apologies where I may not have the terminology precisely correct; and, I am using my iPhone displays and settings info for reference (IOW, not an Android OS).
Hmmm, that’s not what’s happening for me.
If I leave a tab open from my last browsing session, that’s what I’m greeted with when I reopen Brave. Example: I was looking at this topic and didn’t close the tab. I exit Brave. When I open Brave again, it’s back to this topic.
