@genelocated Sorry I'm answering late, e-mail got lost in a mountain of crap.
A new version has been pushed. Please let me know if this is now behaving correctly and on what desktop you've observed the behavior whether correct or not.
Thanks for the report and patch!
@mixedCase Please add Actions property under the [Desktop Entry] section:

solved ... seems that the brave update domain was blocked in my hosts file facepalm I'm embarrassed
@kronikpillow Yes, this was a new random extension by Google that I had never used before. I did not reinstall the entire OS to test it, however I just tried testing again by deleting the Brave configuration folder and using a fresh profile with a new add-on. Works just fine.
Try to open Brave in a terminal to get console output and also keep the developer tools open (in network tab, and press escape to open console at the bottom as well) while using the Chrome web store to see if any failures are apparent.
@mixedCase are you sure? have you tried installing a extension or are you using previously installed ones? I'v been having this problem for quite some time now, first I thought it was a error from upstream, reported it there, and they claim its not a upstream issue ... Im on a freshly reinstalled system, with a fresh install of Brave, when i go to the chrome webstore and click add to brave, the download interupts, and when I try to download an extension with a extension downloader service, it downloads, and when i drag and drop it to brave it restarts the propmt for download, and just redownloads it again, meaning it doesn't give me a option to install it
@kronikpillow Working fine here. Months ago I had a similar issue and I think it solved itself after a reboot.
after fresh system reinstallation, I can't install chrome extensions anymore, download interrupts ... reported to mainstream they claim that it works for them, is anyone experiencing similar issues? https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/9138 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2RGbAlOyt
Thank you for maintaining this! I am always surprised by how quickly you update this package, and it is really nice to have an Arch package for Brave.
@mixedCase I don't think upstream will solve this as it depends on mesa and other stuff as well.
@francoism90 This PKGBUILD packages the official Brave release. Let upstream know about this in either an existing GitHub issue or a new one.
@monson This PGKBUILD makes a system package owned by Pacman, matching Arch's official Chromium distribution and compliant to FHS 3.0, it's funny you ask because I actually got an e-mail about this around a couple of weeks ago.
Anyway my interpretation of the FHS and what Arch does is that /opt is more for the sysadmin dumping programs that don't follow the system hierarchy and the files aren't owned by the package manager. Although sometimes packagers can't (or can't be arsed to) reorganize everything so they make packages that dump everything to /opt.
