How to Enable “Create Shortcut” for Standalone Apps in Brave Browser

If you’re trying to create standalone Brave apps and can’t find the “Create Shortcut” option in the settings, it hasn’t been removed—it’s just disabled by default. You can enable it through the flags menu!

Steps to Enable:

  1. Open Brave and type brave://flags/ in the address bar.
  2. Search for “shortcut”.
  3. Find the option to re-enable the “Create Shortcut” feature.

Why This Matters:
Creating single-pane browser windows for URLs allows for a minimal standalone experience, letting you launch apps in their own environment without toolbars.
