Click Address in address Bar to Automatically Expand even over installed extentions until you press enter or click empty space on website to de-expand address bar back to normal

Since the scaling is so huge on brave cause of my desktop settings (need it this way for my computer), I cant even see much of the address bar, I usually use alt + d to select the address bar and type the website I want to go to. Have got extentions filling up everything on the right of it, this problem would be fixed with

if I could click in the address bar or press alt + d which is the same thing, it would be nice if the address bar expanded fully over all the extentions on the right temporarily, then when i press enter it goes to the website and collapses back to the small adddress bar that it is (or click an empty space in a page to reset the size)

This way you are maximizing space and giving the ability of a full address bar when ever needed. I could just press alt + d and see the whole address bars link cause right now I have to move through text manually with my keyboard or mouse, or copy the link and open notepad and paste it so I can see it, just a simple expansion on using the address bar would be an amazing feature for brave, Sometimes I want to see the link I am visiting, shame it’s too much hassle going right and left through the link with such limited space, as there isn’t any scaling in Braves options, the only reason I actually wanted scaling was so I could see the full address bar, in reality, this feature request makes it so you dont have to worry about scaling as much

Either way, I hope you implement address bar expansion (not the wide address bar setting in the options… ) (this one is gonna be much wider cause it’s temporary) and hopefully scaling eventually comes in the options too, love this browser, with kind regards, Season Greetings
