Optimize Brave's Shield UI Menu For Ease of Use for All Users

[DeepSpaceSurfer]

The current Brave Shield UI is wasting a lot of space that could otherwise be optimized to make the user interface/control fit the panel without the need of scrolling thus easy to use and enjoyable to control per site settings. At its current state, managing per site settings quickly becomes annoying having the option on hidden advance menu that has to be scrolled to access. There is a lot of unnecessary traveling/clicking.

The top 2 frames would be presented in one. The button doesn’t need to be so big. Perhaps the UI could be presented is side by side panel rather than a long vertical panel. Perhaps there could be 2 presentation: Normal: which would have the two big panel as it is. Advance: which would these two panels into 1 and focus on the Brave Shield Controls.

Ran into this thread from 2022. This truly destroyed any hope of getting any solutions on this area.

AI got added pretty fast but the current Brave Shield has been the same since 2022. Which was a downgrade from the previous one version.

New "Brave Shields" button now much less useful for me

Clicking the “Brave Shields” button, I get a popup that was just as big as before, but the only useful thing it has is a toggle for shields up and a button for Advanced Controls. The old button was equivalent to going to advanced controls, but with a smaller and easier to read layout. This is a SIGNIFICANT reduction in usability as it now takes an extra click and significant mouse move to allow scripting once on a shields up site. This is the primary way I use Brave. Is there an option to turn …

I really wanted to like Brave yet the one thing that I downloaded the browser for is the one thing that is kicking me away from it.

To my luck the flags that would have helped me in getting a smaller interface for Brave Shield

#brave-shields-v1 set to enabled
#brave-shields-v2 set to disable

Have been removed.

This further states to me that the developers have engraved their decision in stone.

Truly a let down. When it comes to usage, there is no difference among browsers anymore. There is no get what you seek out of the box. They all are 2 step away from it thus leaving in wait or adding extensions.
