5 years ago Sorry... this was related to the latest version being a total re-write of the process that converts Brave to Dissenter... your user settings folder has changed. It's possible to save it (by renaming the folder), but I had not recognized the issue before shipping. Will update this later with the path names, I'm not in front of a PC at the moment.
Description
I had 10+ extensions (many with config/settings I've now lost) that are now gone after installing Dissenter 0.69 from 0.65. LastPass and Acrobat are still here but everything else is gone (Stylebot, bit.ly shortener, and 10+ more)
Steps to Reproduce
No idea if it's consistent. But I had 10+ extensions installed in Dissenter all working fine for months - then I closed Dissenter and installed a new version of Dissenter and now 95% of my extensions and their data is gone. So I guess to try reproducing install 10+ extensions in Dissenter, then reinstall or upgrade Dissenter. Then relaunch and see if your extensions are still there.
Actual result:
All but 2 of my extensions were still there after the upgrade of Dissenter.
Expected result:
All my extensions and their data should still be there after upgrading Dissenter.
Reproduces how often:
No idea ... I may never upgrade again now.
Brave version (brave://version info)
Version 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Miscellaneous Information:
Odd things I noticed just now
When I add new extensions now the button says "Add to Brave" not "Add to Dissenter". Did it always say Brave here? I wonder if that's a clue to what happened here? But my app icon is the Dissenter icon?
When I go into Dissenter settings I see this message: "Some settings were reset Dissenter detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults. Learn more"
