As far as I understood the backend issue was on Braves end, while the Chrome Web Store was fine.
So installing the extension worked in Chrome, but not in Brave, because they had some backend problems, while the installing of an extension should not need the Brave servers at all.

- jonathansampson 5y agoBrave proxies Google-endpoints to prevent users from unintentionally making contact with Google servers. If our proxy receives a bad request, or has some other unlikely, transient issue, it will respond with a 403 Status (which results in the "Access Denied" message being displayed). In this instance, the user may have been on an out-of-date build of Brave; it's not clear from the report. Sampson (Brave Team)
