Anyone else having the issue when going to the extension store, the "Add to Brave" button is grayed out?

I just installed a new Linux distro and am getting my browsers back up but I can't install any extensions, particularly Bitwarden but others have the same problem. Firefox has no issues.

How did you install Brave? Through a deb, rpm, or flatpak?

Flatpak

Sorry for the late reply

I just tried Brave in my personal machine and it seems to be working (installed through flatpak)

What extension specifically are you trying to install? And what distro do you use?

EDIT: Just noticed its Bitwarden you want to install. And this one also seems to be working fine. Maybe you could try to reset Brave? You do it by deleting the folder /.var/app/com.brave.Browser/ in home. But be careful because you lose all your browser data by doing it.

I deleted Brave and the folder and reinstalled and I was able to install extensions. Strange. Thanks!
