Screenshots in Brave Browser

[Kathrin1]

Hi everyone,

I noticed that when I take a screenshot in Chrome or Samsung Internet, the Gallery app gives me the "Go to Website" button so can quickly open the link again. But when I use the Brave browser and take a screenshot, I don't get that option. Does anyone know if this feature works with Brave?

I use Samsung's GoodLock Nice Shot to take screenshots, and regardless of which browser I'm using at the time, I am never taken away from the current website / webpage I have open.

So I am not taken away from the current webpage, which makes it unnecessary to have "go to website".

No no, what I mean is I really like taking screenshots of a website I am on so that it saves it to be my gallery and then gives me an option to go to the website again.

Example:
I see something on Amazon
I take a screenshot
Sometime later when I go through my gallery I can go back to that screenshot I took and click on the go to website button which will automatically direct me to that website

How come that doesn't work with brave?
And no, I am also never taken away from the website when I take any screenshot

Ah okay I understand what you mean now. 

I use F-Stop Gallery rather than Samsung's Gallery, but I think that you don't have that option with Brave Browser because it is designed to emphasize privacy, likely blocking the option you are looking for.

Ok, thank you!

Hi Kathrin1,

You're absolutely right to notice the difference—this feature does not currently work with the Brave browser.

Why the “Go to Website” Button Doesn’t Appear with Brave

Samsung Gallery’s “Go to Website” button relies on metadata embedded in screenshots, typically provided by browsers like Chrome and Samsung Internet. These browsers allow the system to associate the screenshot with the URL of the page you were viewing.

However, Brave is designed with privacy in mind, and it likely blocks or omits this metadata to prevent tracking or data leakage. As a result, Samsung Gallery cannot detect the source URL and therefore doesn’t offer the “Go to Website” shortcut
