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
