Error message in Brave Browser (works in Edge) #6

Until today I'd never used Edge, favoring Firefox or Brave for a Chrome like experience. I've removed Chrome from my Windows PC.

Tried this in Brave today and the error message was archive.org says ReferenceError: showSaveFilePicker is not defined Please contact the developer.

Brave Version - Version 1.51.118 Chromium: 113.0.5672.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)

showSaveFilePicker is disabled by default in Brave. Try this Navigate to brave://flags In the search box type file-system-access-api Change the File System API item's status to Enabled

For Brave to work, besides changing that config, it is also required to disable and enable the extension once every time you launch Brave. It is a Brave bug.
