As it works fine with Firefox & Chrome and as I did not find lots of related threads around I may have something not correctly configured in my Brave setup. But I can’t figure out what goes wrong. So please also find attached my extension configuration page in case something there could be wrong:
Hey there, one thing i saw on your wallet settings screenshot, you need to change Default cryptocurrenty wallet from None to → Prefer Plugins. If you havent already tried that. That may fix yours
I’ve had the exact same problem (but on Linux) for about 8 months now.
Try to connect Ledger through metamask and it just spins. Even in metamask settings, if I set to “WebHID”, thats the only time I get a box popup showing my ledger device. But if I click on the “Ledger - paired”, and click Connect, it just spins.
I am honestly not sure if this is a Brave issue, or a metamask issue??? However, I’m leaning toward Brave issue, since the metamask plugin is the exact same on Chromium and Brave.
Metamask works fine, except Ledger in Brave. Ledger through Metamask works fine for me in Chromium.
In searching this forum, it looks like these metamask/ledger connect issues, dont hardly get any responses.
Is there any way to get support for this issue??? I’ve tried posting on reddit, github, and now I’ll post here. I’d had this problem for probably 8-10 months, and its only with Brave for me.
I’ve tried
clearing cache
Changing wallet to (prefer plugins)
tried metamask in private mode
tried uninstalling, reinstalling metamask
tried all 3 options in metamask (webhid, ledger live, u2f)
and more
I will create my own thread as well. Sorry for hijacking your thread. I just figured this would also bump it and show theres other people with the same problem as well.
Well, I’m quite happy to find team mates as I was really feeling alone.
So not only you’re not hijacking this thread, but I would rather say: welcome home.
I’ve just tried changing the default crypto wallet but with the same result.
Taking a look at this issue — appreciate the detailed report. Hope to have more information for you soon. On my end I was able to connect my Ledger to Brave wallet using the normal flow and I’m not aware of any open issues with this.
Also wanted to note that I originally thought you were connecting to Brave wallet directly but it appears you’re trying to connect via MM extension. That said, upon testing, I am also able to connect my Ledger device to MM without any issue.
Hi Maatches, thank you for your feedback and time.
Yes I can confirm the Ledger Nano X is up to date. I also regularly software update the various items (and often redo the test, just in case).
And yep, I try connecting using MM. I’m not surprised you do not reproduce it as I’ve not found similar cases during my researches so I guess I’m probably in a corner case, unfortunately for me.
It’s not blocking me as it works fine on 2 other browsers. But Brave being my main one, I would prefer using it for this too.
Something I’ll try is using another computer, hoping it will work so I’ll be able to check setup differences.
Let me know what you find out — in the meantime we will try and reproduce on our end and see if we can figure out what’s going on. You might also try setting up MM and connecting your Ledger in Brave using a fresh profile to see if this makes any difference.
This is happening to me as well. I just did a fresh Windows 11 + Brave + Metamask install and had it happen only then. I tried connecting via the standard method and LedgerLive with no avail. I’m wondering if it could be related to the chromium security update from a few days ago?
I did manage to get it working using the LedgerLive API. Once it was connected via that method, I switched it back to the standard method and it started working.
