While a menu button is an elegant solution to the tiny screens found on smartphones, I do think the menu bar has it’s merits. I find it more convenient and well worth the space on a laptop, even though it would be a duplication of the functions of a menu button. Thank you for your consideration.

I just started using Brave to see if I would switch from my old Firefox and am very disappointed in the lack of a menu bar, making it so much slower to access bookmarks among others. Unless this option is added, I will either stay with Firefox or go to another browser, bummer since I had a good firs…

Maybe I am showing my age but I’m coming to Brave from Firefox and it’s the first thing I looked for and thus ended up here in my quest for information.
