I recently installed an older version of the Brave browser (1.18.78) on an old MacBook Pro I own due to not supporting newer ones. I tried adding the MetaMask extension but I get an error. I assume it is due to it trying to download the extension onto an older version of the browser.
Apparently I can’t install any extension to the browser in general . Am I forced to use the latest browser version to download extensions (get a new laptop that is up to date) or is there a workaround?
Well, you could try installing an older version of Metamask and, if you can, see if it will update. Honestly, I personally would not do this. I think you are potentially setting yourself up for major problems using older versions of any software. I would be really concerned about security and bugs. Ultimately, the risk for me would be too high, especially the increased risks of compromising my system and potential loss of funds.
