Please i have git cloned the URL and makepkg -csi but it times out at the download of the zip file. I have also tried installing with 'paru' same thing. What could be the problem? Is the repository of line or what else can I try?

@Stebalien could you please file an issue at https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues? The comment section here isn't great for keeping track of what needs to be done and any related discussions. The more info you include, the better. Also, feel free to tag @brave/devops-team for better visibility. We're planning some other improvements to the Brave packages in AUR and what you suggest could be a part of that.

Additionally, you might want to consider removing a few files from the package:

  • /opt/brave-bin/xdg-* aren't necessary given that arch has up-to-date xdg scripts.
  • /opt/$pkgname/brave-browser is redundant with /usr/bin/brave but doesn't apply the user's flags.

The current wrapper (brave-bin.sh) is a bit out of date:

  • It doesn't set CHROME_WRAPPER so PWAs installed through brave don't use the correct wrapper.
  • It doesn't disable the gnome crash dialog as the upstream wrapper does.
  • It doesn't sanitize stdin/stdout/stderr as the upstream wrapper does (which is apparently a security issue? see http://crbug.com/376567).

The following patch should bring it up to date (ignoring features from the upstream wrapper that we don't need like replacing the XDG scripts).

Someone opened an issue for it on github: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/45171

@rodrigo21 I've downgraded back to 1.76.82, seems to be okay, not sure if this is Arch specific, couldn't find any reports on github yet, might open one later

@LegendEronZ Brave 1.77.95 still works fine with KeePassXC, though

rodrigo21 commented on 2025-04-03 13:46 (UTC)

@LegendEronZ It's happening to me too. Using --password-store=basic works, but it's not secure.

After yesterday's update the browser seems to lose login sessions when I restart it, anyone else experiencing this? I'm on KDE, kwallet is open.
