I use the Brave browser and I have a few favourites stored on said bar. My query is can I lock any particular favourite button to prevent anyone seeing what I have stored in it? For example I have an app that is on my favourites bar that stores personal information and I would like it to be admin only access.

Click to expand...
I don't use Brave but, could this help :

OK, the video I posted which I edited was not helpful at all.
Apparently you cannot do that in Brave. Chrome and Firefox
can have a bookmarks folder which you can password protect
if this is what you are asking for.

This is from Brave Community:

Lock Bookmarks Folder

Hello all, First time o am posting in Brave Community. I would like to know if there is any way to secure my bookmarks. I have let’s say bookmarked my bank account, of course there is a password to enter the account, but i want to prevent even the “click” on the specific bookmark. Thank you...

Also , found this which apparently works for both Chrome and Brave:

chrome.google.com

Set password for your browser ( chrome lock )

This extension will allow users to set password for the browser to avoid unauthorized access. Prompts for password on chrome startup
chrome.google.com chrome.google.com
