@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

@spsf64 That one is marked as prerelease.

Noting here in case anybody wonders: Package was just rolled back because a GitHub release was incorrectly marked as stable for some period of time by the Brave team, forcing an epoch increase.

@cg505 You are right, I didn't think that one through and in retrospect it should've been obvious, mb. Fixed.

Thank you @mixedCase! As for L21/22, I'm still not entirely sure how it's supposed to work. Doesn't ${pkgname%} just expand to brave-bin, like plain old ${pkgname}? I assumed the intent of these lines was to strip the -bin so that this package conflicts with/provides brave.

Thanks for the report @cg505! Can't test actully setting the default browser here but the detection is working with that change.

As for L21 and L22 fixed it because it was technically working but the code was misleading. Great catch.

@mixedCase Could you rename brave.desktop to brave-browser.desktop? This will resolve the issue where you can't use the button in Brave to set it as the default browser. See https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/e569501ac1d8c4a203776249cee4eaa7ad77dd5f/patches/chrome-browser-shell_integration_linux.cc.patch for the relevant code.

Also, I may be mistaken but I think on lines 21 and 22 of the PKGBUILD you want ${pkgname%-bin} instead of ${pkgname-bin}.

@maximbaz Sure, it has a few things hardcoded and storage relies on Google cloud but the querying mechanism should be straightforward enough: https://gitlab.com/mixedCase/aur-out-of-date-reminder

@mixedCase: could you please share your script that checks for availability of a new stable release? I wanted to setup an urlwatch rule, but the query is not very obvious...
