Description of the issue:
Not ready to fully switch to brave. Some things just dont work right yet. Like some sites, only work in Chrome, not brave…
But … .
I installed brave from your website a while back. After running it, I was almost immediately asked to upgrade…wierd, but ok… I upgrade.
Now it seems I have 2 versions of Brave installed. One that I open via my shortcut…but when I just choose (right click) - open with - (select Brave)- it opens in the old browser.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Download old verison-

  • upgrade to new version
    old version still uses the Brave designation in the system and new Brave is blocked.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:
WHen I upgrade, old Brave gets killed and body dumped
Reproduces how often:
Every time I click

Nevermind. Uninstalled both. This worked.

Brave New and Old look the same in my app menu, so it was a 50/50 chance.

So… I get that I should have been more clear…

I uninstalled both brave versions by mistake (logos where the same, and no information to tell which one was which).

Re-installing solved the problem (after un-installing both braves).
