I just upgraded to Windows 10 and in the latest version of Brave, I had the home button on my setup but noticed that clicking it now opens a new tab instead of taking me back to the Google homepage like it used to. As a workaround, I now have to bookmark the homepage on the bookmarks bar and disable…

I found it. Thanks! This whole thing was driving me up the wall but it’s all good now.

Home Button on Desktop Only Opens New Tabs instead of set Homepage

You can set the URL for the home buttons under Settings → Appearances.

Stop open new tab at startup
