@serpro69 we just released 0.67.123 Chromium: 76.0.3809.87 today. Could you update and see if you can still reproduce?

Hi @kjozwiak, thanks for prompt response. I've just tried on the latest version 0.67.123 Chromium: 76.0.3809.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) and still have the same issue.

@serpro69 Which desktop environment are you on? Have you tried enabling the maximize and minimize buttons via the tweak tool? By default maximize and minimize is disabled.

[serpro69]

@srirambv I'm on gnome. I have those buttons enabled and they're showing fine in other apps (i.e. Firefox).

[serpro69]

OK, I think I've figured it out. The buttons will show if I enable "Use system title bar and borders", and if it's disabled then only Close button shows. If this is the correct behavior then this issue can be closed.

@serpro69 Your screenshot of the tweak tool only shows the close button, whereas @srirambv's shows the min/max buttons as well. This looks like an OS configuration issue to me, not a Brave issue.

I think you might be right there :) Closing this issue. Thanks!
