Hello, Im am using Brave for several years now. But now I am thinking about changing to another browser. The simple reason is that with every (automatic) update Brave is getting worse and worse. Last annoying “features”: Display of “Tabs” in the upper line. If you have many open tabs, this only takes place and I can’t imagine what this is good for. And what’s the sense that now you can’t edit the content of the input line any more? Maybe there are commands to inhibit this behaviour, but seems to me they are not communicated. Greetings, Bjoern * * * **Description of the issue:** **Exact URL of the website in question:** **Did the issue present with [default Shields settings](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023646212-How-do-I-configure-global-and-site-specific-Shields-settings-)? (yes/no)** **Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?** **Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):** **Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?** **Brave version (check `About Brave`):** ---

Though you are providing certain feedback to Brave Support, your interest in Brave Browser and - specific details - screenshots **expressed by following the guidelines** , increase your chances of getting your points across, IMHO. How do I submit a bug report?

this is no website or shield specific problem. If you touch the adress line, it’s content disappears, you can’t edit. The edit button on the popup ist just one more step to get to edit mode. This is no improvement, this is worse. And yes, chrome behaves the same way. But I don’t use chrome, I use brave. And in chrome I don’t find the annoying “Tab” display. ---

In a Brave Browser **New Window** go to: > brave://version Please copy the first 4 lines: - Brave: - Revision: - OS: - Javascript: and paste them, here. ---
