Hey, I have a small feature request that would be monumental for me. I’m on a Mac, and when I full-screen the Brave application, the Mac menu bar on top disappears. However, if I hover my mouse to the top, the bar comes back down. The problem is that the bar coming back down forces a resize of the whole browser. Since I’m switching tabs from the top, a small overshoot can resize the whole browser which can be annoying to the eyes and slow if I’m on Youtube (and the video has to be resized)
I noticed that Vivaldi and Firefox don’t resize the browser when I overshoot the tabs: rather the top bar just hides the tab bar. It’s not a perfect fix, but it’s a lot less visually annoying.
Hello Brave Team. Is there any update regarding this? Would love you fix this. It is highly annoying. This just happens only in chromium based browsers and not on Firefox or Safari. Just this issue is keeping me from switching to brave for long.
Hi Brave Team - this seems to be especially bad now with the new Macbook Pros. The notch and increased width of the menu bar means the webpage shifts down significantly. This is very annoying when you’re trying to switch between tabs, you flick your mouse up to change tab and accidentally shift everything down, usually resulting in clicking a menu item by mistake.
you can actually use it? I have the 14 MacBrook Pro and if I go full screen there is no option for me to type anything in the search box because it’s gone. I’m ready to give up on this browser it’s become more trouble than it’s worth
@wickee I’m not sure you’re even on the same thing that they were talking about here. If it is, then you should know that is something in the settings on your Mac and has nothing to do with Brave.
They were more or less referencing what is talked about in the links below, which I think is different than your situation but I’m not sure.
have no idea which speaks to my point. This. browser is not ready for primetime. I had nothing but problems with it on my previous computer and now apparently I have to understand the intricate settings of the current laptop in order for the browser to function. So essentially no I have no idea if it’s the same thing. Browsers shouldn’t be this complicate and you shouldn’t need a degree in computer programming to get them to work properly. In fact this is the ONLY browser I have ever had a problem with.
I encountered the solution in articles from 2014 and 2019. I’m not sure how many browsers have that issue or if perhaps Safari and Chrome fixed it and Brave is just using the old coding from back then in the current browser.
Do let me know if you try it and it does what you’re looking for.
So still no solution after years? Every other browser just pushes the top bar down, only Brave pushes the whole website down & up, with a very stuttery animation.
Why Brave is not considering implementing this feature. Really this whole interface getting pushed down on moving cursor on top is annoying. Please get this fixed
I noticed that Google Chrome v120 has fixed this issue, I don’t know which version fixed it. On fullscreen it has become much like Safari, which is very nice (except it has all the Google Chrome stuff). Hopefully this fix is soon ported to Brave
Hi everyone, are there any news on this topic, this issue got opened back in May 2020 v120 on Chrome fixed it back in Dec 2023 and this still an issue on Brave, any ideas how to move forward?
While This is an issue, it’s not exactly the same topic. Only the small bar appears instead of pushing down the entire browser window content, which was a very unpleasant animation. And this is the same as on Chrome, like I said.
