Extensions disappeared completely from Brave

Correct; and also why, both you and Brave Support have requested a list of extensions used. (Thank you.)

Extensions Testing Steps:

  • test by disabling all extensions
  • test by enabling each extension individually
  • test by uninstalling all extensions
  • test by installing each extension individually
  • test order of installation of extensions
  • test combinations of extensions

About: Automatically Update Extensions, and toggling the brave-user-extension-auto-update flag to “Disabled” via ‘brave://flags’ …

While this provides global control similar to Firefox, it currently does not support per-extension toggles.

Users requesting granular control (e.g., disabling updates for specific extensions while keeping others on auto-update) have submitted feature requests, but the current implementation applies to all user-installed extensions globally.
