Hello Oghi,
Like you I have been a diehard Firefox guy for a long time until it started to go downhill and influenced me give Brave a try. I found Brave to be beneficial with some of my issues with the fox and have used both for few years now.
I share your significant disappointment regarding the bookmark menu view disappearing after any single action within it.
It is very surprising to see so few posts on this inconvenience.
I am greatly looking forward to this issue being dealt with asap too.
Have you experienced any improvement since your post?
In Junes 2023 I posted the following reply to: Persist bookmark toolbar view when dragging/dropping bookmarks
"Thank you for posting this request greenthread!
This behavior has been driving me crazy too.
Although what I am experiencing seems a bit different.
No matter if I relocate a single bookmark or folder within the main view list, or drag one from or to different folders, the entire bookmark view disappears in every instance once the drag is complete.
Brave powers that Be… please make it so the Bookmark list drop down menu view stays visible, after any rearrangements, until we manually close it or click on a bookmark to open it. Or, please advise me if I am ignorant to a setting that controls this feature.
Brave has become my favorite browser and I appreciate it’s availability. However, it seems odd that this historically common feature behavior is not a part of the experience like it is with many of the other browsers out there.
Thank you for listening!"
We need to keep bugging the Devs (somehow) to take care of this for all Brave users! Anybody have any suggestions?
How about this…
