It is ergonomic until you want to send more than one tab using Brave sync. Also Ctrl + B to show the bookmarks sidebar would be nice, for those of us who nest their web clippings deeply. On the iOS app, it also forgets usernames I’ve stored using password sync. For some sites (criteria unclear) I have to type the username before it inserts the password, which is frustrating to a privacy conscious user who will not use the same email address everywhere. I want to like it but there are power user pleasing areas where it certainly lags behind Firefox.

In Brave, you can select the Bookmarks panel from the side bar, and then toggle it open/closed from then on with Ctrl+B. Regarding iOS, it's entirely possible there's a bug in our code. I'll definitely take a closer look and speak with the team regarding this report. That said, it's also not entirely uncommon for users to enter a site through a slightly different URL, or form, which complicates the credential-autofill logic. If you have an example or two of sites where this behavior is consistently observed, that would be much appreciated.

  Ah, tried Ctrl+B with the mini side bar already open and found it works. Thanks. The two recent culprits that didn't toggle password autofill were eBay.co.uk and Gumtree.co.uk. I'd be grateful it if this could be investigated; the latter prevented me from checking an address in the Gumtree PMs whilst on the road delivering a purchase. On the issue of sending multiple tabs, it is frustrating enough that it prevents me from adopting Brave as my main browser. I often open a few sites that interest me on mobile then decide to read more on my desktop. If you could pass the word along for someone to investigate that, all the better. With that said, it's commendable being the only browser on iOS with first class advert blocking & sync with every other platform.
