Description

I accidentally installed the Brave browser and fell in love with it! But now I really miss uploading files like in the Opera browser. Namely, a pop-up window with the latest downloaded files and clipboard files

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the Brave browser UI codebase to understand how pop ups are implemented. Look for existing file upload or clipboard features. The feature requires a pop up that shows recently downloaded files and clipboard items. Implement a component that reacts to file downloads and clipboard changes.
