Resolve "Open in Brave" Extension Opening Brave Browser Twice in Chrome

[hubertjakubiak]

The "Open in Brave" extension currently demonstrates a behavior wherein it triggers the Brave browser to open twice if installed within the Chrome browser. The anticipated functionality is for the extension to initiate the opening of Brave only once. Ideally, it should intelligently detect whether Brave is already active, and if so, open a new tab within the existing Brave window rather than launching a redundant instance.

To Reproduce the Issue:

1. Install the "Open in Brave" extension within the Chrome browser.
2. Close the Brave browser if it's currently running.
3. Activate the extension either from an external application or a webpage.

Expected Outcome:

• Brave should open singularly upon activation.
• If Brave is already running (minimized or closed), triggering the extension should create a new tab within the existing Brave window.

Actual Behavior:

• The extension currently prompts Brave to open twice, resulting in unnecessary redundancy.

I can reproduce this with "Open in Edge" from Yandex browser on Linux: two tabs are opened each time in Edge with the same url. Happens both from context menu and from domains set in settings.

Works fine otherwise.
