Description of the issue:
Downloads icon disappears after given amount of time.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Download anything
  2. Download icon appears in toolbar
  3. Icon disappears if not accessed in set amount of time (time not measured)

Expected result:
Setting or flag to pin icon to toolbar for permanent access

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.70.126 Chromium: 129.0.6668.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
This has been requested many times without any reason given (that I could find), as to why this seemingly reasonable feature can not be implemented.

There is reference to this being possible via a flag setting in the past, but I cannot attest to the validity of this claim.

I don’t think it’s possible or at least any more sorry, I’m not seeing anyway to change that from looking myself :man_shrugging:

It seems it used to be possible via changing:
brave://flags/#download-bubble
brave://flags/#download-bubble-v2

but not anymore :man_shrugging: that option unfortunatly is no longer there :man_facepalming:

Remember though, you can always use KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS to get to your downloads quick with:
Windows: Ctrl+J
Mac: Option+Command+L

Or just PIN a TAB for: brave://downloads/

Sorry this doesn’t give you what you want but hopefully it might have helped :man_shrugging:

This is what I do. I just keep it open and pinned all the time, works great.
