Brave-browser: Brave Wallet overrides MetaMask web3 even when disabled

[shanefontaine]

Description

I am unable to connect to MetaMask when attempting to interact with a contract on remix.ethereum.org.

The MetaMask injected web3 and the Brave injected web3 conflict and I am unable to use MetaMask.

As an aside, when the Brave Browser wallet is enabled, I get redirected to set up a Brave wallet. When the Brave Browser wallet is disabled, I still get redirected, but to a blank page instead.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install and unlock MetaMask
2. Go to https://remix.ethereum.org
3. Go to the "Deploy and Run Transactions" tab
4. Change the "Environment" to Injected Web3
5. Attempt to make a transaction with MetaMask

Actual result:

Unable to connect to MetaMask and send transactions.

Expected result:

Able to connect to MetaMask and send transactions.

Reproduces how often:

This seems to have been fixed with Version 0.70.97 Chromium: 77.0.3865.65 (Official Build) beta (64-bit).

Closing.

I am getting this same error and I have a newer version than the one you mention: Version 0.70.121 Chromium: 78.0.3904.70 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Perhaps it wasn't properly fixed after all?

Happening here as well as of today.

Version 0.70.123 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Happening with me today.

Version 0.70.123 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

inpage.js:1 Uncaught Error: MetaMask detected another web3.
     MetaMask will not work reliably with another web3 extension.
     This usually happens if you have two MetaMasks installed,
     or MetaMask and another web3 extension. Please remove one
     and try again.

Yup, can also confirm this error still happens today, on version 0.70.123 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97.

The weird thing is that I'm not getting this error in my default Brave user profile, which I created a while ago. Instead, the error appears when I create a new user, install MetaMask and open a dapp.

Which is weird, because both the default user profile and the new one have the same version of the Brave browser when tapping the "About Brave" menu option + the MetaMask version is the same (7.5.1).

[paulrberg]

Update: so it seems the latest version is actually 1.0.0, not 0.70.123.

Tap the small "Relaunch" button, to the right of the version label printed when tapping "About Brave". This issue with MetaMask should go away after the relaunch.

I am still having this issue in version 1.0.0

@drewstaylor have you disabled the Brave Wallet? Search for "wallet" in settings and there should be a toggle.

For anyone who still has issues, I solved the issue by making sure all of my Brave profiles had the Wallet disabled, then I restarted both Brave and my node dApp which was giving me the multiple wallet console error - that seemed to do the trick for me.

Thanks @PaulRBerg, I figured it out. I had it disabled but I didn't think to close and re-open Brave :)
