Just posting topics of interest. At some point I am going to try to organize this information. Have some ideas but it is going to be time consuming and I am a little busy in real life at the moment. Will just have to wait. I am taking the “something is better than nothing” approach. You may disagree.

on a link to open it in a new tab and switch to that tab:

Dragging a tab will always detach it from the window — note that if you move it back up into the tab ribbon it will re-attach in the place that it’s dropped. If you want to drag it onto the bookmarks toolbar, instead of dragging the tab itself, try dragging the URL into the toolbar, as shown below:

This and That: Sync
BRAVE Sync - ERROR SECURE STORAGE - SYNC DISABLED - #6 by Mattches
Contains information for macOS, Linux, and Windows users
Recovery key not accepted on fresh install - had to start from scratch! - #12 by Alexey
Sync code now consists of two parts:
- seed, 24 of first words, which is never changed.
- 25th word with represents the number of days between
Words v2 Epoch of Tue, 10 May 2022
and today’s date.
And sync internally used only the 1st part, which is seed, and which never changes.
Solved! Devices would not sync and could not leave sync chain - by @eddintergral
I resolved the problem in brave://sync-internals/ by selecting “Disable sync(clear data)” on both devices. I then started a new sync chain.

Blocker menu covering element - #9 by Chocoholic
Note: If anyone feels inclined, please post a mini-tutorial on blocking elements behind the element picker (or in frames) using devtools. Nothing fancy, just something very simplistic (with screenshots ) would work. I’ll add one of my own, but I really don’t know what I am doing or if element blocking should or shouldn’t be done this way. Any input, additional links, whatever, would be appreciated!
Making this reply a wiki post. Just add anything relevant to this post or create your own. Thank-you.
