Hi all, new Brave user here. I wanted to know how to set the focus on page after opening the new tab. Actually it is focused on address bar. My system: MacOS Ventura Brave v1.46.140 Thank you.

Umm not sure what you mean. If possible please share a screenshot.

Hi @SmartyAadi , thanks for reply. I mean after opening new Tab the focus(cursor) goes here: [Screenshot 2022-12-12 at 19.07.49] … I want the focus (cursor) to be here: [Screenshot 2022-12-12 at 19.08.00]

Hello @Dorald Thank you for reaching out and welcome to our community! to give a correct answer could you kindly share a video about what you want to do? Be waiting for your response and have a great day!

Like one already mentioned there, the search will take you to your selected search anyway so why need it to be in the search bar specifically ?
