Chromewebstore extensions not working

Description of the issue:
I installed a few “eyesight reminder” extensions from the Chrome Web Store:
Eye Blinker, and then one called “VISION” on my MacBook Air M1, but they aren’t working in the Brave browser. They never worked. They’ve been installed for about a year. However, the same extensions work fine in Brave on a much older MacBook Air.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Install eyesight reminder extensions from the Chrome Web Store in Brave on a newer MacBook.
  2. Enable the extensions and attempt to use them.
  3. Notice that the extensions don’t function as expected (reminders don’t appear at all).

Expected result:
Reminders should appear. The extensions should work as expected on the newer MacBook, just like they do on the older MacBook.

Brave Version:
Version 1.73.97 Chromium: 131.0.6778.108 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional Information:

  • The extensions work perfectly on the older MacBook, which has the same Brave version.
  • I’ve checked that both devices have the same settings and version of Brave.
  • I’ve also tried restarting Brave and reinstalling the extensions, but the issue persists.
  • The extensions are from the official Chrome Web Store and work on other browsers, so I suspect the issue might be specific to my newer MacBook’s Brave installation.

Because the other extension, Eye Blinker, is about eye strain and other eye vision problems.

Yes, on my other macbook air, popup windows appear every 20 minutes, to remind me to look away, and give my eyeballs a break.

They do nothing on this new MBA. That’s why I tried a few.

Surprised none work. Anyone know why?
