[SOLVED] How to make Gnome Shell Extensions App show the Browse tab?

Hello to you,

Normal Gnome Shell Extensions has a "Browse" tab

On my Arch Linux system I do not see the "Browse" tab

How can I make Gnome Shell Extensions App show the Browse tab, please?

Best,
KES

$ uname -srvmo

Agreed.

$ locate gnome-extensions
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions-app
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gnome-extensions
/usr/share/man/man1/gnome-extensions.1.gz
$ locate extensions-manager
$ yay -Fy !$
yay -Fy extensions-manager

But how does that answer my question and why would I want to use that AUR package instead of making the gnome-shell package from "extra" work?

Please see the screenshots in my original post. They show what Gnome Shell Extensions should look like versus what it does on my Arch Linux deployment (installation, PC, etc.)
I am asking for how to make the the one I installed look like the fully-functional one. I am not asking for an alternative program. Thx.

No. as @VoDo pointed out, the first screenshot is from extension-manager while the second one is from gnome-extensions-app.
Simple as that: Those are two different programs.

Oops, I didn't see it that way. Thanks.
