Unable to fetch public instances on Brave v.2.8.3 #906

I upgraded Libredirect from 2.8.1 to 2.8.3, but after the update Libredirect lost all my settings and was unable to fetch public instances, I tried to fetch them with both GitHub and Codeberg. A way that I found to fix it was to remove 2.8.3, install 2.8.2 fetch the instances and then upgrade back to 2.8.3.

To test I installed Ungoogled Chromium and added Libredirect 2.8.3, on Ungoogled Chromium the extension could fetch the public instances without a problem, the problem appears to be happening only on Brave.

having the same problem on vivaldi v6.6.3271.55, it might be impacting other chromium forks too

The way of upgrading directly from 2.8.1 => 2.8.3 is making the problem.

It's a matter of data not being correctly converted. I'll try to prevent that in future versions.
