When i try to add a new site in “Top sites”, i click on “add site” button, a window appears, but it is only possible to enter a website title. If i click on anything, for example a line to add a site URL, or “save”, or “cancel”, the window disappears. It is impossible to add a site URL. Why? How can i solve it? It worked earlier.

Hi
Try using the TAB button instead of mouse; And ENTER to save URL.

This is rather a workround than a solution while waiting for a solution in the next Brave update.
Fortunately, the workaround is very simple: do not use mouse to move from NAME to URL , instead use TAB button.
Use ENTER to save!

Thanks, it solved the problem
I am trying to use Brave. I am used to have speed dial function on other browsers. Seems that Brave still haven’t got it. I was curiuos, just why? The closest thing is “Top sites”. I was worried if even this is not working anymore, i will have to get back to my old browser. Thanks for solving the problem.

I think Top Sites is Brave’s implementation of speed dial. The problem is the 12 site max. There is a Brave GitHub issue report in progress to increase this number. I couldn’t find exactly how this is going to be implemented as the storybook for the feature is not publicly available.
