Additional Context

Sadly, the manifest is just generated for firefox, google-chromium & edge. See here: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/blob/f2be150b70827269020f9a2552c01294aac35258/apps/desktop/src/main/native-messaging.main.ts#L193-L213

So with a little workaround and it's now working as it should (google-chrome not installed):

mkdir ~/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts
cd ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts
ln -s ../../../google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.8bit.bitwarden.json com.8bit.bitwarden.json

Would be nice if more chromium based browsers will get supported by the client.
