Brave already pushed a fix for this, in an update, today I think.
Anyway, Brave is working on showing tabs on hover when full screen, which is also affect other OSs, since currently they hide on Horizontal tabs, but show Vertical tabs.
It was always an intended behavior, what happens in other browsers when you ‘full screen’ on Mac
Anyway, they will make it so tabs will be shown on hovering, so you get full screen but still access to tabs, like IE times.
if any of you ran Nightly, you would have helped changing the behavior on time, or improve it or make sure it was good or not for MacOS users, but since it seems nobody cares to run Nightly on MacOS to report issues or make questions about X or Y implementations to see if they get improved, this is what happens.
The latest update did fix this issue, at least for me. @anon57438784 I do feel as though it is a bit unfair to blame the Mac community for using the more stable build of Brave, especially since as far as I know MacOS is a significantly smaller userbase.
