What’s the location for Brave extensions in the registry?

For Chrome it’s:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions

For Edge it’s:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions

Reference

I’ve tried BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser and BraveSoftware\Brave but neither seem to work.

Thanks!

Brave uses Chrome’s registry directory.

I had to deal with a nasty extension that kept re-installing itself automatically every time I created a user profile, and eventually clearing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions fixed the issue, so Brave fetches data from Chrome’s registries.
