How did you install Brave?

What update wiped out your stuff?

Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling Brave yet?

Thank You!

Your first question reminded me that a few years ago I had a messed up Brave install. Thought I had fixed it.

All I know is yesterday all of my Brave settings were wiped.

So I tried to do a Brave upgrade, on the command line, using apt and a refresh using snap. Both applications denied Brave was installed, I had to use the Ubuntu Software app to uninstall and then reinstall Brave and the Bitwarden Extension problem was solved.

Now I have to reconfigure my settings :frowning:
