Is there an existing issue?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

Go to kodadot.xyz, click to connect Polkadot.js Extension and it shows that error in latest Brave browser

Please reproduce in steps

Click "Connect" > "Polkadot.js", then view browser console error

Expected Behavior

It should allow me to connect Polkadot.js Extension on a desktop browser if I want to. I shouldn't be forced to use other wallets.

Previously I encountered and reported this error on https://singular.app/ but it has now been fixed there, but there is an error at https://kodadot.xyz

@ltfschoen works on my end. Is this still an issue? What's your browser version 🤔

Could it be be similar to this issue if I'm using other extensions AcalaNetwork/Acala#2710 (comment)

Yep looks similar.
I use amd64 on debian and I'm not sure if my brave is the latest version. What's your system and brave version so I can replicate the issue?

[ltfschoen]

tried both of these versions, same error:
Brave: Version 1.62.165 Chromium: 121.0.6167.184 (Official Build) (arm64)
Brave: Version 1.63.161 Chromium: 122.0.6261.57 (Official Build) (arm64) - LATEST
macOS 14.1.1 (23B81)

i guess i could update to 14.3.1 but i used to get this error on other dApps but it disappeared as soon as they catered for users that also had Metamask or other EVM extensions mentioned here polkadot-js/extension#1250 (comment)

Brave: Version 1.62.165 Chromium: 121.0.6167.184 (Official Build) (arm64)
Brave: Version 1.63.161 Chromium: 122.0.6261.57 (Official Build) (arm64) - LATEST
macOS 14.1.1 (23B81)

Can't reproduce on my end, maybe it's not on amd64/linux. Tried on brave 1.61, 1.62 and 1.63
