Hi,

While I am aware that Brave is a "security focused" browser, but it appears that Brave blocks any calls to File System API (e.g. window.showDirectoryPicker) which honestly just doesn't make sense. It is understandable that it is disabled and blocked by default, but not having the option to allow that makes no sense, especially if the place I am trying to use that on is MY OWN APP. I basically have to use another browser instead, which makes Brave less of a proper replacement for Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

Could we please get an option to allow users to enable this on their own risk, but keep it blocked by default?

And for the record, I am aware of the existence of #11407 (which appears to have been the starting point of the file system API block), but my point still stands.
