Chrome has a nice feature when you are in the address bar that allows you to append “.com” It used to let you long press for .net, .org, .edu, .com, etc. but I guess they took that way. 
It also lets you quickly insert other common URL characters like “/” “:” and “-” . This would be great to have in Brave. I also like the QR Code reader and Speech to text for search.
I cannot agree more. This is a pretty disappointing lack of a basic feature that you wouldn’t expect Brave to miss.
