Chrome extension doesn't work in Brave when installed via Sync

[drguildo]

When installing the extension in Brave via a browser Sync, the default search engine isn't updated, and Kagi isn't even included in the list of available search engines.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling the extension but it never takes control of the default search engine.

Do you think this is an extension issue or Brave issue?

No idea, sorry. I don't know enough about how either works to make even an educated guess. I've had issues with the extension before, so I figured there's a good chance it's that. Apologies if that's not the case.

I just tried uninstalling the extension completely and reinstalling it and I have the same issue, so it might not even be an issue with Sync.

This is on Linux, and I'm using the extension successfully on Windows. Does that mean it's probably a problem with the Linux version of Brave?
