How do I customize the toolbar in Brave? Volgen
Brave allows you to customize what icons appear in your browser toolbar and address bar. Most of these icons allow quicker access to to features, settings or pages within the browser.
This is useful for those who want to maximize efficiency by allowing them to use the features and components they find most valuable directly from the browser toolbar without having to leave the page they're on. It is also useful for users looking for a sleek and minimal browsing experience by allowing them to disable any additional unused icons/clutter from the toolbar.
To customize the toolbar in the browser:
- Launch Brave and go to
Main Menu --> Settings --> Appearance - Click on
Customize your toolbar
Once selected, a side panel will open with various options you can toggle on/off:
Additionally, icons for basic browser features are enabled on the toolbar will appear on the left side of the divider line and can be reorganized on the toolbar in the order you would like. Note that Brave specific features (e.g. VPN, Leo, Wallet, etc.) will appear to the right of the divider line and cannot be rearranged at this time:
It is worth noting that showing or hiding these icons in the browser toolbar or address bar does not actually enable or disable this feature in the browser. For example, hiding the "Wallet" icon does not disable Brave Wallet - it only hides the icon.
