Extension No Longer Works with Brave Browser

[presnell72]

Problem:

Within the last week or so, the extension no longer works with the Brave browser on Linux Mint 20.3. The icon just shows "ERR".

This is almost identical to another problem report here titled "Keep getting "Session expired" Issue #5." When reviewing the console logs, just like that issue, I see the 401 and 400 response codes when the extension tries to refresh the email list / unopened count.

Within the comments for that issue, there is a proposed fix in file emailFetcherService.ts. I applied the fix, compiled, and installed the modified version. The ERR badge went away but it did not successfully retrieve the unopened count. I believe it was still returning 401 and 400 codes.

Testing:

All of this testing is with Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon.

Brave 1.37.111 - Does not work - the current stable version
Brave 1.39.40 - Does not work - the most up to date nightly build I downloaded and tested against
Chrome 100.0.4896.75 - Works
Firefox 99.0 - Works

This appears to be just a problem with Brave. What's troubling here is that it doesn't appear to be just a transient bug in the current stable version of Brave, as it also appears in the very latest nightly build.

Thank you for reviewing this issue.

Not working on chrome either (brave is chromium based, so makes sense)
