1.26 (21.5.28.14)

In this release, we added:

• A new options menu. When you tap “…” (more), you’ll now see a full-screen options menu.
• A setting to disable the long press option in Playlist. If you long-press on a video or audio file, you’ll see an option to add it to the new Brave Playlist (https://brave.com/playlist/) feature. With the 1.26 release, you’ll have the option to disable this long-press option.
• A way to auto-close tabs. You can now set tabs to automatically close after a set period of time (one day, one week, or one month). To access this, tap “Settings” and scroll to “Close Tabs.”
