Hi, I think I solved the problem with snap. Worked for me.

  1. Downgrading the snap packet :
    in terminal “sudo snap revert brave”

  2. Launch Brave via icons or entering “brave” in a terminal, you should have everything like before upgrade

  3. Save your Wallet as said here https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018538092-How-do-I-upgrade-Brave-to-the-newest-version-

  4. Close brave

  5. Install via apt in stead of snap following this : https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018666072-Linux-Installing-Brave-from-Terminal-

  6. Launching the new brave
    in terminal type “brave-browser” (if you enter “brave” it’s launching the snap version)

  7. You should now see the “brave_old” in import / export stuff https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019782291-How-do-I-import-or-export-browsing-data-

  8. So import your browsing datas

  9. Recover your wallet https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020673191-How-do-I-back-up-or-Restore-my-Wallet-in-Brave-

For our passwords, I think we are fucked.

EDIT : if you want continue with snap, upgrade snap instead of the 5th step : in terminal " sudo snap refresh brave "
