Hi folks, just to confirm this one is caused by the toggle logic and not the extension: are you able to install IPFS Companion via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipfs-companion/nibjojkomfdiaoajekhjakgkdhaomnch without a problem? It works for me, but not sure if we are experiencing same bug as https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/9092 or something else.

👍 - manual install works 👎 - manual install also crashes

@SCBuergel 1.8.x has not been published on Release channel yet.

You can try this build on Developer channel: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v1.8.82/brave-browser-dev_1.8.82_amd64.deb

edit: Developer channel build will not overwrite your Release channel profile. It will be installed side by side.
