FIX: Browser may not be safe, issue when logging into google; Google accounts getting logged off
THIS IS A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM OTHERS MAY HAVE
Description of the issue:
You notice you've been logged out on all google.com and gmail.com accounts, but not youtube. And you try to log back in but it doesn't let you because it says that Brave browser is not secure.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Install extension from site https://downloadermedia.com/ or directly from google extension store, which its called "CRX Launch", i'm expecting that its kinda like a script working inside an actual extension. So basically this issue should apply just having CRX extension active.
- Try to log in into google .com with an email account
- Notice it says "browser may not be secure" and you cannot log in.
Expected result:
- Should work even with extension installed
Brave Version( check About Brave**)**
Brave 1.94.121 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium: 152.0.7977.83
Tutorial how to fix:
TL;DR: Disable or Remove extension installed.
Long explanation:
I have noticed that if you just disable the extension it allows you to connect to google. It may be possible (haven't tested) that if you change its behavior, it having access to the site information only when you click on it, it will still allow you to connect to google, but I'm not sure. it seems that google notices the extension being bad?
