Is it possible to make a way to disable “Open link in split view” from the right click menu? It is positioned between two commonly used options that I use, so it’s beyond frustrating that it appears there now! I don’t know how many people actually use “split view”, but I am definitely not one of t…

@bosshogg24 basically, that’s correct. Chromium, which is kind of the core of Brave, Edge, Chrome, and others, changed the code upstream to remove the flag and they also haven’t added any toggles to enable/disable the feature anywhere. Brave tends to more closely mirror the UI changes made by Chrom…

Think of it this way. Brave is like a rented home, and the home belongs to Chromium. Chromium once had a switch on the wall that controlled split view, and we the Brave users, could toggle it like the other tenants (forks like Edge, etc). Chromium removed the switch, and permanently wired it on a…

The whole reason why Brave became the browser of choice for so many people was that, when Google decided to kill adblockers, Brave continued to run off of Chromium while still allowing adblockers. But now Google has decreed that the right-click menu is shuffled, and that’s it? It’s not a priority, …

[image] th3overseer: And I’ve seen zero official acknowledgement about this On what? That the most recent version of Chromium just removed the flag? It hasn’t even been a week yet. Do you think they just sit on their ass doing nothing all day and will immediately put out some huge press relea…

And keep in mind, things are ALWAYS changing. It can be a lot more work to do things than people think. They still have other requests/issues on their plate as well. For example https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/52045 where people were mad about Chromium removing tab scrolling flag. To w…

I don’t think that not wanting to entirely migrate to a new browser, after years of using this one and telling all who would listen about how it’s the best browser available, is “seeking drama”. I’m glad that in at least one place, that being the github page, it’s acknowledged, but if it could take…

@th3overseer drama thing more heated moment, but just seeing the whole thing like: [image] th3overseer: But now Google has decreed That just was off-putting and is where I was getting at. Somehow exaggerations start coming in, people attack, and conversations get derailed. I should have resp…

[image] th3overseer: I do need to entirely switch browsers Over a freakin menu item? Talk about dramatic.

At least Edge appears to have moved it to the bottom so not buggering up everyone that has been using browsers for the last 20 years.

[image] gordon861: At least Edge appears to have moved it to the bottom so not buggering up everyone that has been using browsers for the last 20 years. Doesn’t change the fact they are being overly dramatic over a menu item, threatening to leave a browser because of it. I think there’s more…
