Mac navigation buttons (close, window size, minimize) hide when entering fullscreen since an update several months ago. A mouseover near any location along the tabs brings them back up, but it prevents tab selection. On the image to the right, the tabs are not visible due to the bar being down.
This has been discussed in a post here: Fullscreen Mode Issues on MacOS , but was never resolved because it was decided that Brave was just following native Chromium Behavior.
Chrome has since been fixed to avoid this annoying behavior as seen below:
There was previously a workaround (it no longer words), but it seems silly that this has not been change to reflect Chrome’s elegant solution. To me and others at my work, using Brave in fullscreen is no longer an option because of how disruptive this behavior is to tab visibility and selection.
I use brave sometimes 13hrs a day, and would greatly appreciate it if this behavior changed. I don’t understand how this hasnt been discussed in the community yet, but I believe that it is an issue that will improve workflows for many.
