I am trying to add a Google password password manager and it says the extension is corrupt. My chrome version is up to date. I also tried resetting it and repairing the browser. It still gives an error.
If you mean the Bitwarden extension, and if you system/browser’s language is Turkish, there is a bug (in Chrome?) that there may be a temporary workaround:

bug
browser
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Install macOS 15.4 on a MacBook with Turkish as the d… efault system language.
2. Install Brave or Chrome browser (possibly affects other Chromium-based browsers as well).
3. Try to install the Bitwarden extension from the Chrome Web Store.
4. Observe the error: "Extension may have been corrupted".
### Expected Result
The extension should install and function properly regardless of the system language.
### Actual Result
Instead of installing successfully, the extension fails to install and shows the error:
"Extension may have been corrupted."
### Screenshots or Videos
### Additional Context
When I installed macOS 15.4 with Turkish as the system language on a MacBook, I encountered the "Extension may have been corrupted" error when trying to install the Bitwarden extension on both Brave and Chrome (this might also affect other Chromium-based browsers).
Later, I tried doing a clean install of macOS 15.4 again, but this time I selected English as the default language during setup. After that, the issue was resolved and the extension installed successfully.
Interestingly, if I change the system language to English, install the extension, and then switch back to Turkish, the extension continues to work.
Because of this behavior, I believe the issue is related to macOS 15.4 and how it handles Chromium-based extensions in non-English system languages — particularly Turkish.
### Operating System
macOS
### Operating System Version
15.4
### Web Browser
Brave
### Browser Version
1.77.95 Chromium: 135.0.7049.52
### Environment Versions
Version: 2025.3.1
SDK: 'main (6008e90)'
Server version: 2025.4.0
### Issue Tracking Info
- [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
If not Turkish, then there might be another problem, probably related to Chromium, with no workaround:
Edge has disabled the BW extension…
Repair link didn’t work and I couldn’t re-enable the extension.
I uninstalled and reinstalled which worked, but what caused that? Was there a malicious attempt to hack Bitwarden extension? (I never had that problem with LastPass)
