Test Plan:

• Install latest Chrome (for win I use 109.0.5414.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and install an extension from web store, I use jfbnmfgkohlfclfnplnlenbalpppohkm for testing
• Check c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Secure Preferences file, it should have one line without extensions info.
• Try to import from Chrome profile
• Make sure installed extension imported to Brave.
• Additionally check extensions can be imported from Chrome and others Chromium based browsers who keeps information inside Secure Preferences, I checked with Yandex.
