Whats the point of line
ln -s /usr/lib/PepperFlash "$pkgdir/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree" ??
Its creating false symlink as /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree doesn't exists. It also prevents one from installing brave-bin and brave-dev-bin at the same time
@navarroaxel If that flag doesn't work (I've never used it so can't say) (I don't see why you couldn't try, just in your .desktop or from terminal even), you do realise there is an option built directly into Brave's Browser Settings which lets you set it to Dark mode? It's way easier than messing around with flags :)
How I can add this flags automatically when I open brave?
--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode
In the google-chrome AUR package I can edit the ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf to force the dark mode
@digitalone Thanks for the heads up, just uploaded the PKGBUILD without the .deb code.
As for Widevine support, Brave manages its own version and thus doesn't need the chromium-widevine package to work.
Generic Linux zip package has now resources folder included, so we can skip deb package downloading.
Besides, I made a new PKGBUILD with optional chromium-widevine support. Note that you don't have to install chromium to get chromium-widevine.
Installed and tested with a streaming service I use in my country: playback works smoothly (obviously you have to disable brave shield for that specific page). Should also work for Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming services.
I think it's because those files were copied manually before and pacman detects a conflict.
The last build failed for me because it didn't remove the old locale files at: /usr/lib/brave-bin/resources/brave_rewards/_locales/ and /usr/lib/brave-bin/resources/brave_extension/_locales/
run sudo rm -rf for each of them.
Thanks. Anyway, deb package uses Ubuntu directory schema that seems a little bit different from Arch's one. Brave primary folder is in /opt/brave.com/brave rather than /usr/lib/brave-bin. I don't know if this can cause any issue on Arch.

@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.
