Mailvelope Brave GnuPG integrations on Linux may be incorrect

guoguojin opened this issue 3 months ago · comments

The instructions for integrating GnuPG for Brave on Linux may be no longer correct. I tried to follow the instructions today (2 April 2024) and the Mailvelope extension on Brave did not recognise GnuPG.

The correct path for the gpgmejson.json file for Brave is now:

$HOME/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts/

I'm running EndeavourOS (i.e. Arch) so not sure if it's the case for other distros, hence the "may be".

Thank you for for drawing our attention to the changed path in EndeavourOS. Did some testing on macOS(Silicon) and found that Brave still behaves the way described in the instructions. Seems this is valid for Linux only at the moment. I will add it to the instructions for Linux.
