Description

Visiting the chrome store to download an extension for Brave Browser I get a warning that

"This version of the Chrome Web Store will be discontinued in January."

Doing a bit of research on twitter suggests this is being shown to non chrome browsers for example "Like Opera etc"

@solrevdev I believe they're just updating their website. You should still be able to Add to Brave like below

I'm going to go ahead and close this off but if this does become a problem in the future we'll file a new issue.

Thanks for explaining this! This was the second Google result for "This version of the Chrome Web Store will be discontinued in January.".

For those who arrive here, probably clicked the link from Brave like I did to get to the store. And the the gist of it is that it is that https://chrome.google.com/ (the one with the warning) is moving to https://chromewebstore.google.com/. It would be good to link a PR with this link change in Brave to this issue.
