Can you add Samsung Galaxy S20 (SM-G980F/DS) to the list of the devices affected.
Do you need the OS build number?
On it — thank you for sharing
I’m experiencing the same issue on my Pixel 4XL.
A quick work-around…
Click on the three dots on the bottom right. Click on the Share icon. The browser will bring up a caption window on the bottom with the option to copy the link to the page you’re on.
I started using Chrome again and thought…f**k this, there has to be a hack to get me by. Sure enough.
dont know if it is related, but about:config doesnt seem to work anymore, says cant reach page.
I’m seeing a slightly different issue. For me the top URL bar is completely blank and can’t be tapped.
Device: Pixel 6 Pro
Android version: 12
Build number: SP2A.220505.002
Brave version: 1.38.109

thanks!
i used the flags one to default the grid table tabs and now everything seems to wotk. so this is the setting that screws everything up!

Doesn’t work for me unfortunately
However, hitting Reset in brave://flags has solved the problem for me - so something else I set may also cause this, but unfortunately it’s too late for me to work out what that was

Works for me. I could have sworn the only setting i had was trying to disable tab groups, but i tried making that setting again and its still working now.
Same here. I side-loaded the latest version, 1.38.111, and still had the issue so I went to brave://flags and did reset all.
I had disabled everything for tab groups and tab grid view that I could find so that’s probably what was affecting it. I really want the old stacked tabs back!
That was the ticket for me too on a Galaxy S22. I had 2 Experimental flags changed - Tab Grid Layout, and Grid tab switcher for tablets. Changing the first one back to default did not fix it after a relaunch (it may be both settings affected it). Changing the second one back did seem to fix it. I personally also preferred the stacked tabs vs. the grid and don’t use tab groups, so that’s why I had those changed. That being said, stacked tabs haven’t worked for me in a few versions.

Ditto on resetting all the flags fixing the issue. I tried setting the tab-grid-related ones back to disabled, but the problem did not return for some reason.
Also ditto on an all-consuming hatred of tab grid that burns with the heat of a thousand suns. Why can’t I have stacked tabs anymore? It takes forever to scroll through the grid and find something, which is why I had tried (in vain) to get rid of it.

Yeah I have this issue as well. Its been really annoying since the last update having to restart brave everytime I switch tabs.
Only temporary respite I found was in swiping to change tabs to avoid it temporarily.
Phone: Asus Zenfone max pro M2
Android version: 9
Brave version: 1.38.109
PS: Bring back Stacked Tab view. It’s literally the very reason I quit Chrome for Brave. That and Chrome Dev’s thinking it was a smart idea to force permanent Tab groups…
Same problem here. Brave version 1.38.109. Xiaomi Mi A1, LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11), updated 3/5/22.
Can everyone here confirm that setting the Tab grid layout and/or the Grid tab switcher flag (in brave://flags) to Default value fixes the issue?
You know, the fact that most of the problems people had here had a specfic flag that is related to the removed tab system is kinda worrying.
I mean, even then before all this, I had gotten the same problem, and I just usually lock and unlock my phone. I haven’t used the latest version to check if it works by setting said flags though, so…
I guess that’s one more to the “please return stacked tabs group” request.
