Hello @adsn not sure if i got you but do you mean that brave work in background after you close last tab or what if yes then `brave://settings/system` make sure this `Continue running background apps when Brave is closed` is disabled ---

Hello @justsomeone1 I mean that Brave does not quit/close/exit the window if I close the one/last remaining tab. Instead, open a new default (dashboad?) tab. In Firefox: about:config -\> browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab - \> FALSE BTW, great browser, probably I will move. ---
