## Description Follow-up from #17573. We need to add the reading list back from Chromium. Feature was disabled since this would be a new feature for Brave users and the side panel would conflict with Brave's. ## Test Plans ### Tabs can be added to reading list - Open a tab to any link, right-click it and choose "Add tab to reading list" <img width="276" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/741836/178615019-d86b184e-c942-42e7-b387-e60405a6241f.png"> - Reading list toolbar icon should show with highlight circle <img width="151" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/741836/178615070-30b4862b-3fb6-41c3-a140-848f1daa52f7.png"> ### Reading list shows for side bar in "always" mode - Change side bar pref to "always" show - Click the reading list icon - Reading list should show - Reading list icon should show as selected <img width="108" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/741836/178615623-cdb425dc-3317-4254-870f-dbd505f255ca.png"> - The toolbar side panel button should show as selected (highlighted background) <img width="199" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/741836/178615655-3521f395-55dd-40e5-bf52-474846a4287b.png"> - Click the reading list icon again - Reading list should hide - Reading list icon should not show as selected - The toolbar side panel button should not show as selected ### The side panel toolbar button will open the panel - Click the side panel toolbar button - Reading list (or bookmarks) panel should open (whichever was the last open) - The opened panel should have the relevant sidebar icon selected - The toolbar button should show as selected (highlighted background) - Click the side panel toolbar button again - The panel should close - No sidebar buttons should show as selected - The toolbar side panel button should not show as selected ### Reading list shows for side bar in "on mouseover" mode - Change side bar pref to "on mouseover" show - Click the reading list icon - Reading list should show - Reading list icon should show as selected - Mouse away from the side bar and side panel to the web content and click focus there - Side bar and panel should stay open - Click the reading list icon again - Reading list should hide - Reading list icon should not show as selected - Mouse away from the side bar and side panel to the web content and click focus there - Side bar and panel should hide ### Reading list shows for side bar in "never" mode - Change side bar pref to "never" show - Click the side panel toolbar button - Reading list (or bookmarks) panel should open (whichever was the last open) - The opened panel should have the relevant sidebar icon selected - The toolbar button should show as selected (highlighted background) - Click the side panel toolbar button again (or the selected sidebar button, to unselect it) - The panel should close - No sidebar buttons should show as selected - The toolbar side panel button should not show as selected - The entire sidebar should hide, since it is in "never" show mode
