In addition to Brave's compatibility with third party extensions, the browser comes with several  extensions already installed. To find these extensions:

1. Open the Main Menu  
2. Go to Settings --> Extensions

Allow Google Login for extensions

When this option is enabled, it enables chrome.identity for extensions so extensions can retrieve an OAuth token from google to authenticate users. The OAuth token can be used to retrieve personal information like email id and profile.

Please note that this is considered a 3rd party login. Extensions such as Google Keep may require a 1st party login (performed in Google Chrome) and may not work (see here for more information). You can read more about chrome.identity here: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/identity 

If you are not logged into Google, these options have no effect for you.

Hangouts

Enabling this option allows the browser to use Google Hangouts in the browser. This includes the Hangouts browser extension, hangouts.google.com, and the Hangouts sidebar in Gmail. Note that the requests made to download extensions or components like these are proxied through Brave's servers to strip identifiable user info, like IP addresses. 

Media Router

Enabling the Media Router component allows the browser to cast content in the browser from your device to a separate receiver with an attached Chromecast stick, or a device with Chromecast functionality built in. Note that installation of this component is also proxied through Brave servers, removing some identifiable information like IP addresses.

Widevine

Widevine is a Digital Rights Management solution required  in order to view licensed content. Many popular websites require Widevine in order to stream or view content online, including Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, HBO and more. For more technical details, please see the Widevine documentation on our Github.

Manage Extensions

This option allows you to view and manage any third-party extensions you've installed in the browser. You can learn more about managing third party extensions in Brave in our Help Center document here.

Keyboard Shortcuts

This option allows you to set custom keyboard shortcuts for each third party extension you have installed in Brave. Selecting this option will take you to the brave://extensions/shortcuts page, where you can edit shortcuts for available actions offered by the extension. Simply click the "pencil" icon to change the short cut for the associated action. Note that not all extensions offer this feature.
