Question I totally forgot to ask about this thing I noticed in Brave

[Morro]

OK, apparently I was not fully awake this afternoon, because I had removed VT4Browser from Brave while I did not want to do that.

So I just reinstalled it, and while I clicked install VT4Browsers from the official Chrome Store …

VT4Browsers

VirusTotal Browser Extension.

chromewebstore.google.com

Brave not only installed the extension as I wanted, but also at the same time downloaded the extension? And then I remembered that it had done the same thing with the other few extensions I have installed in Brave? It is just that until today I never thought to ask every one here if that is normal behaviour for Brave, and if yes, can I switch off the download of extensions to my drive?

Extensions must be downloaded to be installed, which is not unique to Brave.

Ah, so that is why, first downloading it, and then installation. Thank you oldschool, at least now I know why.
