+Hi there,
+
+I switched to Linuxmint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE6) and thought: why install Bravebrowser via Apt-Repo, when I could use the integrated Flatpak Store. The Problem that I encounterd was, that the Brave Flatpak doesn't seem to can access my KeepassXC via Addon because of the Flatpak restrictions.
+
+So I tried this Fix https://www.vastactive.com/posts/keepassxc-firefox-flatpak/ which didn't seem to work for me. 
+
+So I am going another route, by moving my appdata dir where the .deb Version would look for.
+
+First I create backups via [rsync-time-backup](https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup). 
+
+Then I move the folder 
+```bash
+~/.var/app/com.brave.Browser/config/BraveSoftware
+```
+ to 
+```bash
+~/.config/
+```
+
+After that I uninstall the Flatpak version of Brave via 
+```bash
+flatpak uninstall com.brave.Browser
+``` 
+
+Now let's reinstall Brave via apt Package-Manager:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install curl
+
+sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
+
+echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
+
+sudo apt update
+
+sudo apt install brave-browser
+```
