Feature: Have GPG/PGP and S/MIME Email Encryption functionality.
Why? Email security is a big issue. One that GPG/PGP could help fix.
How? An extension called Mailvelope already has a free software Chrome extension. It could be then be built into the browser.
It could also sync with the default password manager, making key management easier.
Of course, I would recommend this being off by default.
Preferably it would be utilized in the same way other privacy/security features like Ad-Blocking, HTTPS-Everywhere, tracking protecting, e.c.t.

If you want to use Mailvelope, you should install the extension. There's no need for Brave to duplicate that functionality, especially when only a very few people will use it.
