Unable to Install any Brave Extensions

Every time I try and add an extension the “Add to Brave” button is invisible. It is actually still there but when I click on the position that it is in,
it briefly displays the button but nothing happens.

Brave is up to date
Version 1.62.162 Chromium: 121.0.6167.164 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 11 Home

Can go to another user on my system and the same result.


Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Additional Information:

Don’t bother replying, I am switching to Vivaldi.

Add to brave greyed out means you are attempting to install extensions in a private window

Not in this case. It’s a regular window after a new install.

Share screenshots or Record the behavior in LOOM using other browsers and share the Link here

Before you do the above steps, Make sure to check whether if the problem is related with one specific extension or “Add to brave” being greyed out Everywhere on all extensions.

Create a New Profile and check aswell.

It happens with different extensions that I try to install on different profiles also.
It appears the connection to the Chrome web store is somehow being blocked.
I can install the same extensions that are blocked on Brave with the same profile on Firefox and Vivaldi.


This is what it looks like when I try and load the extension. When I click to where the “Add to Brave” button is suppose to be it will briefly appear for a split second.

I think your screen size is small and you have set Higher Zoom Levels which hides the Add to brave button from being seen.

Reduce the Zoom levels or use the Bottom scrollbar and Move the Position to Right to see that Add to chrome/Brave button.

I have manually adjusted my windows size of brave browser by Resizing it to show you the difference.

You’re absolutely right Scavxo. It is a new install and it the zoom is set to 100% and I didn’t think of that.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks heaps.
