In this release we:

  • Added the ability to use voice search in the browser (just tap the microphone icon in the URL bar and say what you want to search for).
  • Refreshed the available new-tab background images.
  • Made some fixes to Brave Talk that should increase reliability.
  • Created a new “Media” section in settings, which includes an option to playback YouTube videos at their highest available quality (typically around 720p for iPhone, and higher on iPad).
