Brave Browser For Linux 64 Bit
Vella Massart
I saw a video about the Brave Browser ( ) and its operating philosophy. I was curious to see if it would operate in Puppylinux. The Debian install is a bit of a mystery from a Puppylnux user view: Can any one translate if this process is feasible? Thanks.

"Recently, Brave was caught autocompleting URLs of certain cryptocurrency sites with their affiliate links and profiting from it. A Twitter user discovered this when he tried accessing binance.us, which Brave filled with their affiliate link. This granted Brave commissions for every visit using the link. While this was not technically a grave privacy violation, it raises questions about the transparency of this browser. Therefore, we have decreased the rating by one star."
Very forgiving on Nordvpn's part. It wasn't depending on Brave for either accuracy or privacy. I am less inclined to forgive an organization which breaches its user's trust.
Recommended alternative: viewtopic.php?p=18334#p18334: Gab striped-out the gimmicks from Brave; but left everything else including, Brave's GUI. Probably violates copyright laws. So get it while you can. .
Or ungoogled-Chromium if you have fossapup64; or Iron, or falkon, or LibreWolf, or ...
Hey, nice one, Fred. I could never get WideVine to function properly in this.....or rather, it WOULD (but only ever for the current session). It always wanted to re-download & re-install WideVine EVERY time you wanted to use it..!
Not sure what you mean by "no install". Above .deb that I linked to doesn't work ? Details please!
Other way to try could be to download the .zip here: -browser/releases/ extract it in some dir and run brave from terminal standing in this dir (with --no-sandbox perhaps: ./brave --no-sandbox or with run-as-spot: run-as-spot ./brave)
(puppy-common64-official) install-brave-0.5 package misses this very release tag, and attempts to install a slackware one: 1.23.71 , why? I couldn't "translate" the sh script, and "push" some lines of code.
I am using FP64 and downloaded Brave-Portable but fails to sign in to google account. Has anyone know a fix OR direct me to a recent brave browser that work in FP64? I was able to use an older brave-1.16.75-1-fossap64_A.sfs that does work...
Please note:- I am NOT, currently, intending to make this a regular build. I've got enough other browsers to maintain as it is, so I'm not looking to add to the collection! IF it should prove to be popular enough, I may change course on this one, but.....we'll see how it goes, first.
This runs as spot, and contains its own 'mini-spot' directory within the 'PROFILE' directory. It appears to run fine, and Widevine has been included if you need it. The first time you want to use Widevine for anything, Brave will insist on popping-up a notification to say it needs installing; if you let it do this, it won't work correctly.....the Brave devs still haven't got this working right, despite it being a very straight-forward procedure! There's an easy-to-implement 'workaround' for this, which involves creating a small text file within your profile; if anyone needs this, I'll be happy to detail what needs doing.
As always with the 'portables'; d/l - unzip - move the portable's directory wherever you want to run it from, though outside the 'save' is preferable. Click to enter, then click on 'LAUNCH' to fire it up AS a 'portable'.
Brave seems to work well in fossapup64, downloads to spot but no problem. Which one is the latest vivaldi?, like to compare the two. (I get confused about all the vivaldis running around for the pup...
I've just made an interesting discovery. Those of you using Brave may have noticed - on the "New Tab" page - that amongst other things down in the bottom right corner, where all the various icons that control stuff live, there's an icon for making private video calls.
If you go through the steps for this, and bring up the video-call interface......it's Jitsi! Brave have got their browser set-up to make use of the Jitsi webapp (which just happens to be about the best open-source video-calling app there is, IMHO. Super-clear picture, and very little in the way of noticeable video "lag". Audio's nice'n'clean, too!) So, kudos to Brave for making that decision.
(You can confirm this for yourselves. Once you have the Brave video-call "app" up-and-running, go to
.....in another tab. Select "Start Meeting" in the top corner, then follow the steps to get started. Once that's up-and-running, compare the two. They're identical!)
Now update the package cache so that your Ubuntu system learns about the newly added Brave repository and gets the package details. Once the package cache is updated, you can install the brave-browser package.

Therefore, I can't simply enter normal sudo commands because this terminal doesn't seem to speak that language. Let's start with the Brave Browser; someone tip me off how to download and install that.
Then, I was a bit surprised that Libreoffice didn't come along with the install. How do I get that? Does Garuda have anything like the Synaptic download manager? Or Software manager? I'm kind of lost. I'm not fond of Firefox.
brave choice comming from linux mint to garuda ... but the wisest... nothing is better than archlinux and specially garuda... lot to learn with a somewhat easy path... i am using linux for last 3years now but still alot to learn... top priority patience
btw you will get two options while installing brave whick is : 1. brave & 2. brave-bin ... install the brave-bin version because 1st one is buggy.... crashes every 3-4 mins.... brave-bin is stable and works fine
I have tried installing Brave Browser from their official page. But I keep getting an error an openPGP key in this line echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] -browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list. Same with Fedora. It's becuase his page doesn't exist itself. What should I do? Also I have tried alternates like Vivaldi but I prefer Brave. Please help.
The pages seem to exist for me(I am able to open and download the signing keys) via a browser, so I wonder if there's some 'other' issue here. In the longer term - I suspect you might want to see if there's a network or other configuration issue somewhere. That's beyond the scope of this answer.
In theory - you should also be able to get the signing keys here, saving them as /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg for ubuntu, and following the rest of the instructions. The curl step 'simply' downloads the keyring to the appropriate channel and saves it in the appropriate location
Brave, the brainchild of Brendan Eich, has taken the Linux market by storm. Brave's unique operating model, privacy-centric approach, and fast performance promise to be an ideal browser replacement for Linux users.
If you are using any Ubuntu/Debian-based distro, the first step is to install curl on your system. As a command-line functionality, cURL is quite handy for transferring data over various networks and downloading software from repositories securely. After all, given Brave's popularity as a browser, it's necessary for users to remain secure while surfing the internet.
Users who are not too keen on using the command line to install Brave can install it via the GUI method on Ubuntu. To do that, launch the Ubuntu Software Center, and search for Brave in the search box.
Follow the on-screen prompts and enter Y when asked for confirmation. Once all the installation steps are complete, you need to look for the Brave browser icon in the Applications menu. Whenever new updates are available, you can upgrade to the latest version using the dnf upgrade command.
You can install the Brave browser using the Snap Store on any Linux distribution. But before you run the below-given command, you'll need to install the Snap daemon on your system. You can follow our detailed guide on installing snap on Linux to do that.
To open the installed browser, you can either type brave-browser in the terminal, or look for the Brave icon in the Applications menu. You can run the zypper refresh command again, before launching the application, to ensure everything is updated.
Brave is one of the best browsers for Linux, considering how high it ranks in terms of security and efficiency for Linux users. Do ensure that you update the settings of your browser after launching it. This includes importing bookmarks, and other relevant details.
