URL Hover Preview

Bump for anyone who might be able to help.

The same issue for me.
Win 10 1909
Brave version [Version 1.11.104 Chromium: 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Unlike in Brave hover preview and page loading progress visible in Chrome and Edge.

Switching off HW acceleration; setting new profile - tested w/o any improvement…
I hope that problem will not be disregarded as this preview is useful link screening feature…

I see the same issue on

MacOs 10.15.6
Version 1.12.112 Chromium: 84.0.4147.125 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This is very important to me as a security feature.

AS for today:
just after WIN 10 update from 1909 to 2004 and with
Brave [Version 1.12.112 Chromium: 84.0.4147.125 (Official Build) (64-bit)]
problem disappeared. I can see again hover preview with URLs in left bottom corner of browser window. Cannot say, which update made the difference, as both of them took place at almost the same time…

This still happens to me.
Brave [Version 1.13.82 Chromium: 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)]
Win 10 ver 1909

For anyone encountering this issue – it very well may be an extension you have installed that is interfering with the URL displaying at the bottom. Can we take stock of what we have installed and try disabling any extensions and see if the problem persists?

I’ve had this problem for a while. I realized today that if I click the Restore Down button in top right, the hover previews started working. I Maximized the window and it continued to work. I wonder if it has to do with Brave not calculating the screen resolution properly and it puts the preview out of the display frame until the window is resized and it recalculates properly. I have a high resolution display and my Windows 10 display settings are set to display everything at 125% and perhaps that is throwing Brave off a bit.

Try resizing your Brave window and see if URL Hover Preview comes back.

Wow!

This did the trick for me too

Thank you!!

It seems to have worked on one of my machines. I’ll have to check the others.

Just adding to this that I also have the same issue, and AfterShock’s workaround worked for me too, but would be good to get a permanent fix from Brave.

I’m also using a HiDPI screen with 150% scaling, so it definitely seems like that’s the cause. I’m using Version 1.14.81 Chromium: 85.0.4183.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Win 10.
