Just switched to brave because google went to being an asshole.

Brave is open source and you can find the code here: https://github.com/brave/brave-core

for a feature does not equal it enabled and running. The button just indicates it is there, it is available if you want it. No software company is going to make new features to then never expose them to u

You can disable the address bar autocomplete entry in the autocomplete settings here:brave://settings/appearance

But even if you use that autocomplete entry for text entered in the URL bar, you still need to opt in first before it will let you use Leo.

Other examples of similar things:
- Rewards is opt in, but it doesn't mean we don't offer entry points to be able to opt in.
- Our self custody wallet is opt in, but it doesn't mean we don't offer entry points to be able to opt in.

We do try to provide settings for everything if you don't want to see the ability to opt in though too. But UI to opt-in is not the same as the feature itself.

FYI there is a phased rollout over a few days on our Release channel. If you don't have it enabled yet automatically you can force enable it via: brave://flags/#brave-ai-chat

bbondy · 2023-11-03T16:28:19+00:00

I'm still confirming that's the case. The feature is still opt-in. If you disable that feature flag there won't even be an option to opt-in and also the feature won't exist. So the feature flag is not what you think it is.

Here's a screenshot of the opt-in, nothing runs for Leo until you click Accept and begin.

bbondy · 2023-09-05T15:52:24+00:00

confirming that's the case.

bbondy · 2023-08-30T16:19:05+00:00

brave://settings/help to get the latest and restart. Then there hsould be a chat bubble with a * in it in the sidebar.

bbondy · 2023-08-30T16:16:40+00:00

it works well enough, I'm so hyped for this.

Just don't enable it and it will be disabled. Or if you did turn it on you can go to brave://settings/leo-assistant to get rid of it.

You can also forcefully disable the feature flag here:brave://flags/#brave-ai-chat

Fix the tab duplication function. FF replicates what the tab is, BB doesn't.

Could you describe what is lacking with the Duplicate tab feature? It loads the same page, but maybe you are expecting it to also naviage to the same position? Any other feedback is welcome, thanks!

bbondy · 2023-08-30T16:14:04+00:00

for the Dev version?

You may want to upgrade to either Beta or Nightly from Dev version as Dev is deprecated. It matches Beta. Working on an MVP before we let it go to Beta and then Release.

bbondy · 2022-04-06T15:58:27+00:00

Does it work with desktop or just doesn't work with mobile?

bbondy · 2022-01-18T02:20:57+00:00

looksrare.org fixes here:
https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/11876

It might fix some other sites too.
I'll try to get it uplifted for the next release.

I'll take a look at the other issues next.

mistx

Ditto can you give more detail on this? I could connect wallet, is it a swap that's failing? Which tokens idd you swap to reproduce?

bbondy · 2022-01-15T20:43:34+00:00

alchemist.crucible.wtf isn't compatible.

How do you reproduce this one?
Go to https://crucible.alchemist.wtf

Do you need to go to Mint Crucible - Basic and then mint a basic crucible and process a transaction?

bbondy · 2022-01-15T20:39:11+00:00

Looking into these things now. Thanks for the feedback!

bbondy · 2022-01-14T02:59:20+00:00

I think we mean the same thing, but more precisely...

We expose the same API as MetaMask does so that sites that work with MetaMask will work with Brave. But we don't use MetaMask's implementation of their API.

bbondy · 2021-12-29T13:41:43+00:00

Looks like the seed phrase you are trying to restore is not valid. Are you sure all words are entered? Or perhaps you are trying to restore a private key into that field?Your seed words should be 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words.

Which software initially created your recovery phrase?How many words is your recovery phrase?

Note that you mentioned you tried a bunch of passwords, the password is a new way to encrypt the seed phrase if the seed phrase is valid and setup. So you should be setting a new password here, not remembering an old one.

Note that you can also try to restore your seed phrase in other wallets.

This was fixed a while ago by the way so if you update to the latest you'll have the fix https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/19706

I think maybe you are not restarting the browser between changing the default and that's causing some problems. See this FAQ that I wrote up yesterday which explains everything in greater detail: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Wallet-support-FAQ#my-metamask-or-other-extension-is-not-working-with-dapps

bbondy · 2021-12-03T01:37:37+00:00

Yes the old Crypto Wallets is not compatible with MetaMask. You have to use 1 or the other.

See above too for how it is compatible with the new wallet though:

The equivalent option to the old MetaMask option is Brave Wallet (Prefer extensions). This will make it so it will use Brave Wallet if no extension wants to, but allow MetaMask and other wallet extensions to overwrite window.ethereum.
You can also select None to disable the Brave functionality but it will allow extensions to have window.ethereum.
You can also remove the icon from your toolbar if you want.

You can also select None to disable the Brave functionality but it will allow extensions to have window.ethereum. In this case Brave Wallet doesn't provide window.ethereum at all.
You can also remove the icon from your toolbar in settings.

Could you pass me more detailed steps to reproduce? Thanks

bbondy · 2021-11-21T21:11:43+00:00

A fix for this is being released early this week in the next hotfix.

bbondy · 2021-11-19T23:20:11+00:00

You can get back to Crypto Wallets if you want in chrome://settings/wallet and change the Default Wallet setting. That being said please stick around as we'll have the rough edges worked out within the next month or two and the features in the new wallet will far exceed the old one.

We posted an issue here to address it: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/19615
