Today I was looking to install an extension to manage the browser tabs and I ran into this Can’t install any extension But then, the inertia of it being a daily driver, its amazing ad-blocking and tracker protection, Chrome extension compatibility, and the fact I haven’t faced any such issues prevented me from doing any changes.
This is a big design NO-NO for something as essential as a web browser. It struck me as strange when a comment on the Github ticket mentioned that Brave servers need to be up for Brave to function. I got my first heads up when I came across a post on HackerNews about Brave misbehaving due to the “Brave backend servers” being unreachable. introduced it to me at some point and it has been my primary browser both in Desktop and Mobile, home and office computers since then. I have been using the Brave Browser for almost 2 years I think. ⚠️ NOTICE: Closing comments as they have moved from discussing the issue to attacking me for not being crypto friendly. Since no-update was available, I didn’t see the usual orange “Update” button on the taskbar. So the keys it shipped with have become outdated. To explain – the place I have installed Brave hasn’t made available any newer versions of the browser since December 2020. Very old versions of Brave didn’t include service keys (necessary for interacting with Brave’s privacy-preserving proxy-service), whereas modern versions do (which is why you and I are able to install extensions without any issue) Sampson from Brave The problem was with the author’s version of Brave it was roughly a year old. Final Update (moved old updates to bottom)īrave supports Chrome extensions.
