New user features suggestions

[John8]

Hello,

I am a new user of Brave. My default browser is Opera Mini, using Android OS.

I am not satisfied with Opera Mini because its adblocker lets in too many ads. But it has a lot of other good features. So I am not switching over to Brave yet, because it lacks certain features I like.

Here are some suggestions for improvements. There are mostly basic usability issues.

1. Add a feature to save pages offline.

2. Add a way to go instantly to top or bottom of page.

3. Add a page back/page forward brevet to the page bottom toolbar.

4. Add ability to manually add sites to the Start/Home page, and to edit them.

5. Opera Mini has a great feature - sites on the Start/Home page can be combined into groups. Please add this also.

6. The folder download option is very limited - either the internal Downloads folder or, on the external sd card, the Android Data/Brave folder. Please add ability to choose any folder for downloads.

7. Opera Mini has great Downloads features, with a speed dial to show rate of transfer. Brave’s downloads page could be better at showing information like this.

8. Opera Mini has a great datasaver feature, which compresses webpage images and shows them at a lower resolution. This is really useful for those on a data plan. Please add a feature like this.

9. Please reduce/eliminate the info panel on the Start/Home page which shows ads blocked, time saved etc. I don’t need to look at it constantly. The space saved can be better used for more favourite sites to be added.

All the best for future development,

John

Add a page back/page forward brevet to the page bottom toolbar.

You can use your phone back button and (orange box) for forward.

Thanks for the quick reply. As a new user, I’m still finding my way around this browser. I think my other points are still valid though.
