Feature Request: Add Per-Tab Password Lock for Enhanced Privacy
Hi Brave Team 
I use Brave daily for both work and personal browsing, and I wanted to suggest a new privacy feature that I think many users would find extremely useful:
Per-Tab Password Lock (or Privacy Lock)
Concept:
Allow users to lock a specific tab with a password, PIN, or biometric authentication — without closing the browser or switching profiles.
How it would work:
-
Right-click → “Lock This Tab”
-
The tab instantly blurs or hides content with a lock icon
-
Unlock requires entering the password or using biometrics
-
Optional: auto-lock after idle time or when system locks
Why This Matters
-
Many users multitask across different contexts (work, personal, banking, etc.) within one session.
-
Sometimes we want to protect just one sensitive tab — not the entire browser.
-
Ideal for shared computers, remote work, or privacy-conscious users.
-
Complements Brave’s privacy-first mission and adds real-time, selective protection.
Benefits
-
Protects sensitive pages without interrupting your workflow
-
Lightweight and fast (session-based, not heavy encryption)
-
Reinforces Brave’s identity as the most privacy-focused browser
This would be a simple but powerful addition that brings a new level of practical privacy to Brave.
Thank you for considering it — I believe many users would appreciate such fine-grained control.
Best regards,
Houtarou Oreki
