I no longer have time to maintain this package.

It doesn't work for me. --ozone-platform=wayland setting is silently ignored and default value x11 is chosen instead, which is confirmed by Ozone platform entry on brave://gpu page (or xeyes). Everything works as expected (with line breaks in config) when I use the following modification of original brave-beta-bin.sh:

#!/bin/sh
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}

# Allow users to override command-line options
USER_FLAGS_FILE=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brave-beta-flags.conf
if [ -f "$USER_FLAGS_FILE" ]; then
    USER_FLAGS=$(sed 's/#.*//' "$USER_FLAGS_FILE")
fi

if [ -z "$CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR" ]; then
    export CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser-Beta"
fi

# default $IFS
set -- $USER_FLAGS $BRAVE_FLAGS "$@"
exec "/opt/brave.com/brave-beta/brave-browser" "$@"

Try one line:

Here's my conf file:

`--disable-gpu-vsync --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-wayland-ime

`

I just checked - that's passed to the browser.

The script brave-beta-bin.sh doesn't handle --key=value options correctly. For example:

~> cat .config/brave-beta-flags.conf 
--ozone-platform=wayland
--gtk-version=4
~> brave-beta
[130659:130659:0701/024917.097688:FATAL:platform_selection.cc(45)] Invalid ozone platform: wayland
--gtk-version=4.
/opt/brave.com/brave-beta/brave-browser: line 48: 130659 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) "$HERE/brave" "$@"

So the value for --ozone-platform key is interpreted as wayland\n--gtk-version=4.

Here's what I see. Note that --incognito is passed along correctly.

~ cat .config/brave-beta-flags.conf
--incognito

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Allow users to override command-line options

exec "/opt/brave.com/brave-beta/brave-browser" "$USER_FLAGS" "$BRAVE_FLAGS" "$FLAG" "$@"

The brave-beta-bin.sh script shouldn't have $USER_FLAGS in quotes. In it's current state, the brave-beta-flags.conf file does nothing (test with --incognito for example).

Here is the modified last line that works for me:

exec "/opt/brave.com/brave-beta/brave-browser" $USER_FLAGS $BRAVE_FLAGS $FLAG "$@"

That's weird. It's definitely not a dependency of this package (which you can see in the PKGBUILD.) Must be something else going on.

While installing it's asking Telegram as dependency which's not listed here

Just upgraded to the latest iteration of brave beta and the previously reported error is gone... thank you.
