@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.

Looks like there is an error in the desktop file... in Gnome, the desktop file opens a duplicate icon in the dock when added to favorites.

To disable the message telling "that you're using an unsupported command-line flag --no-sandbox" you must enable user namespaces with sysctl:

sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

To make it persist after reboot:

echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf

Sorry I've been traveling and out of date on upstream changes. I'll take a look at this over the coming week.

If anybody can confirm @mariow's comments below and that Gist building I might expedite putting that in here.

This PKGBUILD works to update brave-bin to the currently latest 0.56.12 for me: https://gist.github.com/mariow/b295c2f0c6dc9f274cdf324873a1d712 For full disclosure: that version either isn't as stable as one would like or there are open issues with dependencies, some UI elements look a bit unfinished.

@veox The old Muon-based Brave browser in the browser-laptop repo that this package sources is no longer considered the mainline Brave browser product and I don't think it qualifies for the 'stable' label. They've created a new Chromium-based browser, available at the brave-browser repo. See https://brave.com/new-brave-browser-release-available-for-general-download/ for more info.

Indeed:

The Muon-based Brave browser is no longer available for download on our site, but users who currently browse with it (latest version is 0.25.2) will continue to receive necessary updates until they are fully upgraded to this new release in the near future.

Merely bumping pkgver to 0.25.2 (as well as updating the hash-sums) should be enough for those still wishing to use the "stable" channel.

No need to switch to the beta repo.

Thanks for the tip, ronaldscott!

ronaldscott commented on 2018-10-31 17:22 (UTC)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave-beta-bin/ is already updated to point at the brave-browser repo. I got the latest version by using that PKGBUILD and bumping the pkgver to 0.55.20.

That PKGBUILD could easily be adapted to work for this package.

tve commented on 2018-10-31 16:25 (UTC)

As mentioned by others, this needs to be updated to the brave-browser repo. However, looking at it, the install is completely different, so it's a good amount of work...

async commented on 2018-10-28 02:09 (UTC)

Can we please get an update to the new source, per tuckerboniface ? This package has been out of date for a long time.
