Thank you loonixman, unfortunately in my .cache folder there is only a file with some letters and numbers, but no directory. So I can't delete it :/

Edit: I tried removing the files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ but that didn't help either. Still the brave icon.

Midir, uninstall the package and delete it from the .cache/{aur_helper} directory. If you've customised the .desktop file, back it up and delete the original. Now reinstall the package.

How to do a clean rebuild?

I found a couple problems with the .desktop file and they were an oversight of mine. I fixed the problems and tested it on a vm with KDE and it worked fine.

Since it's a minor fix some aur helpers may choose to forego a clean rebuild, so be sure to rebuild cleanly or nothing will change.

Thank you. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Did all the steps you mentioned, but it still turns into the brave icon :(

Sure. (caveat emptor, etc.)

1: Edit /usr/sbin/dissenter-browser so that the FLAG variable also has the aforementioned --class=dissenter-browser argument. Here's what mine looks like:

FLAG="--class=dissenter-browser --no-sandbox"

2: Edit the /usr/share/applications/dissenter-browser-bin.desktop file so that it sets the StartupWMClass variables when launching. tbh, I'm not sure if this is necessary if you do the FLAG thing, but it's what I wrote down in my notes so I'm assuming it is.

Anyway, where I stick the variables is right after the Exec parameter. So instead of Exec=whatever, mine looks like this:
Exec=whatever
StartupWMClass=dissenter-browser
StartupWM_Class=dissenter-browser

There were three sections with Exec, each different I think, but the two startup vars are the same so just copy/pasting after the Exec line should suffice.

Edit: This assumes you've copied the product logo to the /usr/share/pixmaps directory

Hey, you're right, I had normal Brave Browser running, so it appeared to me as if the icon just disappears, but instead it turns into Brave like you said.

Could you explain steps 1 & 2? Not sure what to do exactly ^^'

Just a heads up, normally the icon changes to Brave's icon after it's loaded for me. I can get it working 'properly' on KDE following these steps:

1) launch with --class=dissenter-browser argument
2) used both StartupWM_CLASS and StartupWMClass (both set to dissenter-browser) in the .desktop file, not sure which is necessary
3) copied /opt/gab/dissenter/product_logo_128.png to /usr/share/pixmaps/dissenter-browser.png

As mentioned, it works on KDE and a few other DEs (I think openbox, maybe XFCE), but it doesn't work on Gnome or Cinnamon for me. Not sure why.

Hope it helps:

Sure, just be sure to run the command immediately when it happens to avoid capturing unrelated events
