You are using Chromium and not Chrome! That is a big difference.

Google has removed the possibility to use Google services with Chromium.

You're jumping from one issue to another ... what is your actual issue installing extensions, how does it fail ?

And for the error messages in your output, either you have some stale or broken lockfiles for your rpm database, or there was another process accessing the rpm database running at the same time.
And are you sure that you actually ran that as root user ?

Can not install extensions. Chromium does not show "add to chrome" button.

So I installed the chrome. That gave an error. So I informed it. May be updates are checking in the background. Do not know what happened.
Only done the installation

You seem to have brave browser installed in parallel, which is based on chromium. You should ask there: https://community.brave.com/

no issue with brave or chrome. I installed extensions. I have issues in Chromium. any way thanks.

1. Can not login to Gmail.
2. Extensions can not install.

I can continue my work. It is up to you to fix the issues. or ignore it.
My end I thought chrome and chromium are same. But they are not. sorry about that.
Thanks.

Good you have Chrome working for you.

There are reasons we will not package Chrome.

Speaking of browsers, if you wonder: We package the long term support ESR version of Firefox, not the latest. Users who want last Firefox can install it as flatpak.

Firefox has an issue. Does not allow MetaMask to login. From Couple of months ago it started blocking. I only installed MetaMask. Not checked other extensions.
Windows Firefox can login. Firefox, Brave and Chrome I am using in LINUX AND WINDOWS
