@PrivateGamer,
Currently checking right now but this might be a design choice rather than a bug. The design choice being to always have the “preview pane” open on the right side of the Images page.
I personally agree with you and think it should be closable so that the images span the entire page until an image is clicked. I’ve asked the Search team for clarification on this.
@PrivateGamer I’m pretty sure it’s an intended design choice. From the very moment you load images it opens something on the right and doesn’t let you close. It stays as a preview of either the first result or whatever you last clicked on. This is just how Brave Search decided to do things. No way of changing it really. About the most you can do is completely block the element but then that part stays blank and unusable, like below:
@PrivateGamer based on your reply, it seems you perceived my comment the wrong way somehow. All I was doing is getting back to you. As Mattches mentioned, he believed it to be by choice but then also said he would ask the team for clarification.
My reply was a confirmation that it is that way by design and it was not a bug. In speaking about how we could block that element I was both confirming the design but also providing you an option of making the big picture go away if it was a nuisance to you, even though it may not be an ideal solution.
Hopefully, the feedback you and others have shared will prompt the team to consider more customization options for the preview pane in the future.
