I have been successfully using Brave with my Ledger Nano X on my Mac desktop for months. Starting tonight, it does not connect to my Ledger wallet: attempts to make transactions never show up for approval on the Ledger screen.
I know the problem is not the Ledger because I can use it with MetaMask on FireFox or with LedgerLive.
Is there a bug in the latest version of Brave for Mac perhaps?
Is this group not monitored by anyone on the Brave team? It would be nice to hear something from someone. Is there a timeline on which this is expected to be fixed?
The problem is that Chromium 91 breaks U2F. And, unfortunately, the latest Brave version is already based on Chromium 91. Due to the broken U2F connectivity, wallets like MetaMask (but also Brave Crypto Wallets and Binance Chain Wallet, which are both based on MetaMask) cannot connect to the Ledger hardware wallet anymore.
I’m currently using Firefox with MetaMask as a workaround. MetaMask claims to have some solution for Chromium-based browsers where they use Ledger Live for communicating with the Ledger hardware wallet. However, I couldn’t activate this feature yet in my MetaMask wallet in Brave. Maybe it’s only available in the development version. I guess as soon as it is stable, Brave Crypto Wallets will have the feature as well.
Phantom wallet which is an extension to Chrome and Brave has ‘reversed’ the change introduced in Chrome 91. I have been using it for some days now and it works perfect.
unfortunately, Phantom is in beta and I think you still need a invitation code to join the beta version
