Why does brave://extensions no longer link to the Chrome web store?

Description of the issue:
brave://extensions used to have a link to https://chromewebstore.google.com/ for finding additional extensions. It’s no longer there in v1.74.51 for Mac (and possibly earlier), meaning if I’m looking for an extension, I can’t start in my Brave exstensions, but instead have to do a web search to get me there.

Is this an oversight, or has the Brave team done this on purpose for some reason?

Meaning that the following link does not work (?!):

The removal of the Chrome Web Store link in the Brave extensions page might be a deliberate decision by Brave to encourage users to explore their own ecosystem and potentially prioritize privacy within their browser.

Hello! Sorry for the trouble. It’s a known issue and we’re working to get a fix out.
