Every time that I try to paste an URL, Try to save or cancel results in nothing. The tab just dissapears and nothing changes in my new tab. Why is this happening? This never happened to me before in other browsers.

Once I did that, I could see the site I just visited (you have to ensure you have room on your frequently visited bar for a new site to show up) and then use the pencil icon to click “edit site”.

Guys i had the same issue, but solved with this;
click to new tab>customize>Brave news> turn on"Show Brave News".
and after all close this settings pop up.
click to Add site to favorites> scroll down with your mouse little bit to brave news,
and when the screen is blurred because of Brave News, boom! you can edit everything with your mouse.
