Title: [SOLVED] Brave installation
Post by: Kurozy on 16 January 2021, 15:20:17
Hello I've started using Artix yesterday and on my last system I fell in love with Brave browser. Is there a way to install it here because on Brave site it doesn't say it supports Artix.

I tried sudo pacman -S brave, sudo pacman -S brave-beta also before I ran sudo pacman -Syyu.

Any suggestions?

Brave is not in any repo, only a few browsers are. You can build Brave from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=brave&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go

Due to massive censorship, I consider providing it, since Mozilla discuss blocking site on the browser end.

and librewolf can't solve it? then it would be more meaningful to provide a tor browser, due massive censorship

or much better just read the comments in AUR :D :D

see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave/ -> including instructions on how to add a prebuild version to brave ;-)

enough if our users more read :D :D

If somebody wants to try my prebuilt package can add this repo:
