Hello I think my idea is for Brave to make there own extension store because I think that could improve the problems with some Extension with brave off course you keep the chrome store it would be a way for app that need Just Brave specs and requirements so it can work on Brave.

It’s in the plans.

> <https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/15187>
>
> \## Description 
> Currently, Brave is relying on the Chrome Web Store. This is wo…rking well and to the best of our knowledge, we have the same policies for loading extensions as Chrome/Chromium (please file an issue if not!). 
> 
> There are a few reasons we might want to host our own extension store:
> 1. We may want to spotlight specific extensions (extensions recommended by staff, etc)
> 2. As Manifest v3 is approaching, we may need to stand up a store out of necessity. Brave has taken a public stance against a full move to Manifest v3 (\[click here for source\](https://www.zdnet.com/article/opera-brave-vivaldi-to-ignore-chromes-anti-ad-blocker-changes-despite-shared-codebase/)). As this shapes up in Chrome/Chromium, we'll need to evaluate what changes will be needed - which may include continuing to host some v2 extensions (per article link, we'd want uBlock Origin and uMatrix).
> 
> \## Miscellaneous Information:
> See https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/28 for a previous version of this issue. We did some initial investigation work which is linked there 😄

It will be great if brave launch its own store. Fully agreed with your suggestion. 👍

I don’t really understand their plans, can someone break it down for me?

- Will Chrome Extensions (Manifest v3) be incompatible with Brave (Manifest v2)?
- Will Brave encourage developers to build extensions for Brave?
- Will Brave defend free speech, free software, and privacy on their Extension Store?
- If Brave has an extension converter for Chrome Extensions, will Brave uphold the copyrights of extension authors, by giving them a choice to NOT be enrolled in the conversion programme?

I think it might be early to give an accurate answer to your questions, however I mentioned your questions in the Github report above.
