Description

I have been using Brave browser for so long (both on mobile, Android, and on desktop, Windows and Linux) on different machines (laptop and desktop).

I noticed that keeping synchronized addons (install/uninstall) between different computers is quite time-consuming task, especially if you have a lot of addons installed.

Therefore, having JSON file would come in handy: export it from one machine and import into another.

The process should be:

  • put in on (C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Brave Apps) path;
  • let Brave parse it comparing local file addons with imported file addons; if an extension is not installed or not up-to-date or dismissed, it would simple download/remove it automatically, without any manual action needed by user.

Anything like that available right now?

研究方向
Examine Brave's extension management code, likely in the browser's settings or addons manager. Consider implementing a JSON export/import feature that reads installed extensions and writes to a JSON file, and vice versa. Review UI for adding export/import buttons in the Brave settings or extensions page. Ensure cross platform file path handling for Windows and Linux as suggested in the issue.
