Can't pin icon to Ubuntu sidebar favorites

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Hi Team,
thanks for the great work!!
I’m using the browser on multiple platforms but I’ve noticed on Ubuntu Desktop I am unable to right click the icon and add it as a favorite. Also when I search for the brave-browser App, it doesn’t show up in the search as an app, just as a file under my .local dir.
Thanks!!

Figured it out.
My brave-browser.desktop app file under ~/.local/share/applications was:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Welcome to Brave - Brave
Icon=brave-browser
Exec=/opt/brave.com/brave/brave
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Brave-browser
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-BAMFGenerated=true

I changed it to:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Brave
Icon=brave-browser
Exec=/opt/brave.com/brave/brave-browser
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Brave-Browser

I must’ve changed my desktop from unity to ubuntu.
