Why did you change the way the bookmarking works?
I don’t like it at all. Now I have to do an extra step.
I get that before I still had to chose which folder it goes into, but why change it when it’s been the other way for YEARS & I’m pretty sure no one had a problem with it. 
@OurFreeSociety there have been multiple topics on this and Support already responded. There is an open Github issue. You can check out reply from Mattches on this below:
Other thing to let you be aware is you can go to brave://flags and set Simplified Bookmark Save Flow to Disabled. Exit the browser completely and when you open everything again, it should be back to what it was.
