Brave and Chrome have different behavior:

• In Brave when you tap on a web address, the address is shown and selected automatically.
• In Chrome when you tap on a web address, the address is not shown and the Share, Copy, & Edit buttons are shown.

So, in Brave if you type the address without https://www. Share, Copy & Edit are not shown, but if you tap x to remove the address, these buttons appear similar to what Chrome has.

The above requires 1.66.117 or higher for 1.66.x verification 👍 Added QA/Test-All-Platforms so we're not sure the above is working on Mobile & Tablet.

The Share | Copy | Edit icons are still missing when the URL bar is tapped -- as observed in my:

• Brave Android v1.66.118 x64 (released: 31 May 2024)
• OS: Android v12 x64

The only workarounds for copying/ pasting text from/ into the URL bar are either via long-pressing the URL bar, or by using Gboard keypad's text-select tool menu.
