@jumde is this still an issue? I checked 1.12.108 and latest nightly and it looks like Crowd Deny updates when I manually select check for update.

@rebron I think the problem appears on automatic updates when you navigate to brave://components and wait for 60 seconds. See #10464.

@jumde in current versions of Brave, Crowd Deny is not installed. (It's only registered, then remains at 0.0.0.0 forever until a user happens to "check for an update" for this particular component.) Per #8709, I would remove Crowd Deny from brave://components. Do you agree with this?

@mihaiplesa @mherrmann - As I understand Crowd Deny is not fixed given it is in the list of blacklisted components - https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/5709a5804cf3c0f3f96e6c250fcb34c666d75717/chromium_src/components/component_updater/component_installer.cc#L26 - Can we re-open this issue?

[mherrmann]

@jumde it depends what you mean by "fixed". Per my comment above I've added Crowd Deny to the list of blacklisted components to remove it. This "fixes" this issue in the sense that there is no longer an update error for crowd deny. But from what you wrote, it does not sound like that is the meaning of "fixed" you intended.

I created a new issue to enable the component: #13426
