Thanks for the bug report, I don't use Brave and can't say we support it officially but of course it should work since it's based on chromium.
I'm not sure exactly why it's not working but it's possible that it's related to this issue: https://community.brave.com/t/select-and-speak-extension-with-brave/45043 mentions that perhaps brave will prompt with a play button initially which then goes away for TTS, but I'm not 100% sure.
Try that out and see what happens; though if it doesn't work there's probably not much I can do.
I tried the solutions proposed in the post, unsuccessfually. I also don't see that prompt.
Thanks anyway.
Ah, that's too bad. You could also try on normal chrome if possible to see if there's a larger issue but otherwise it will be difficult to work around brave specific issues. 🙇🏾
