Provide Brave Browser version of Gitcoin Chrome Extension

[owocki]

requirements:

• a way (preferably an automated script) to build the current codebase for Brave.
• (just porting the existing codebase to Brave is not acceptable, as ongoing changes to upstream chrome extension will need to be merged downstream into Brave on an ongoing basis)
• submit a request to add this browser extension to the brave store via https://community.brave.com/c/feature-requests/extension-requests
• comment back when that's been accepted

As far as I can tell, not many or no changes would be needed to the extension - as it can just use chrome extensions. However, the process to include it in their architecture is a bit more involved involving pull requests to brave repos. See metamask example here: brave/browser-laptop#9647 brave/vault-updater#43

architecture, do you mean archive?

i am more than happy to spend the funds on this instead.. given that it seems my inintial scope is infeasible

[step21]

Architecture as in extension/update architecture. Maybe not the best word. On the one hand they keep it kind of limited, on the other hand they ship several password managers by default, so not sure what that means for inclusion of gitcoin.

@step21 Do you want this one? @owocki if not, may be work poking around to see if anyone is interested!

[gasolin]

As I saw instead of build-in extensions, Brave doesn't allow 3rd party extensions. And Brave doesn't provide extension store or install new extension from the chrome extension store. @owocki I think this issue can be closed

Extensions can be suggested for shipment with brave or installed manually from what I remember. For manual install, just the chrome extension will work. Maybe docs could be added for this
