Hi all,
I have never had this problem but now I am unable to download themes using Brave Browser. If click the link or the download button, it will show the pop-up window but the download button will be faded (there is countdown in firefox). If I use the install button, the “Open xdg-open” dialog box shows up, but nothing happens if I click the button (with firefox the same pop-up window appears but the process fails because of a missing ocs application, propably what would automate the install process but I am OK with moving the file manually).
Is there any way to make it possible to download the themes using Brave Browser?
Thanks

I installed Brave and checked, and it’s their anti-tracker protection blocking the download from starting. After turning that off for [pling.com](http://pling.com), downloads worked. Firefox also has tracking protection but doesn’t stop this, so it must be something Brave is detecting that’s causing the issue.
