Hi Brave devs,
I’d like to suggest two highly requested features for the Brave mobile browser
- Custom Wallpaper for New Tab Background
Currently, mobile Brave doesn’t allow users to set a custom background image on the new tab page. It would be great to allow users to:
Upload or select a custom photo/wallpaper as the background.
Sync or reuse the same backgrounds available on desktop.
This improves user personalization and visual experience, especially for those who want a consistent aesthetic across devices.
- Add/Edit Site Shortcuts Manually (Pinned Sites)
On mobile, the frequently visited sites (top sites) are auto-generated and can’t be pinned, removed, or customized. This is a frustrating limitation. Users should be able to:
Add their own favorite websites manually (like a bookmark shortcut).
Remove or rearrange existing site icons on the new tab page.
Sync shortcuts between desktop and mobile optionally.
This would make the new tab page far more useful, functional, and personalized—just like on desktop.
These two features would greatly improve the mobile experience for power users and casual users alike. Are there any plans to implement them?
Thanks for all your hard work
