"Can't update Brave" notification links to Chrome webpage
See original GitHub issueDescription
The Reinstall Brave link provided in the pop-up notification when Brave is unable to update links to a chrome webpage instead of Brave webpage (or wherever it should point to).
Reinstall link (kDownloadChromeUrl)points to this address:
https://www.google.com/chrome/?&brand=CHWL&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-et-na-us-chrome-bubble&utm_medium=et
Should point to https://brave.com/
Seems to be inherited from Chromium (cc @rebron): https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/ui/views/outdated_upgrade_bubble_view.cc?q=chrome-bubble&sq=package:chromium&g=0&l=36
Brave version (brave://version info)
Release channel, v0.59.35
Reproducible on current release: Yes - although hard to reproduce given the nature of the notification.
- Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds? Unclear - but most likely

Yeah, I did that, but was worried I’d lose all my settings! 😆I didn’t thankfully! Thanks!
@jaminroe I think the only solution for this is to go to https://brave.com/download and grab the latest version
The good news is: this shouldn’t happen anymore, going forward 😄
