@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.

Thanks for the tip, Xeno_Idaltu. I'll make sure to install the latest version of this browser now. Great search engine, an unbiased, censorship-free, untrolled equivalent of Wikipedia!

It came with "infogalactic" as a preinstalled search engine.

If this Alt-Right idiocy keeps going on people in the year 2100 will actually believe dinosaurs lived along Jesus and that White Supremacists were riding Sauropods to work.

With the last update of the licenses package MPL2 is now included (also Boost)

This package is not out of date, the latest non-beta release is v0.18.36. Please feel free to fork this PKGBUILD and create a beta channel package if you wish.

My instructions were to minimize the time needed for you or anyone else wanting to test it. I made the namespaces change on another computer for a quick test. 0.18.36-3 ran before and after the namespace change. Before: $ cat /proc/753/cmdline /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave --no-sandbox -- After: $ cat /proc/5155/cmdline /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave -- It seems to be working well. Thank you.

I mainly meant to test the check I added to the launcher. It's been updated now, please install the new version and let me know if it doesn't work out of the box. Thanks!

In case you want to test it quickly: For CONFIG_USER_NS=y : I just installed linux-hardened, regenerated my grub.cfg, and rebooted with the linux-hardened kernel. For kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 : I just ran the following after booting the new kernel. # sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 Then I edited /usr/bin/brave to run brave without --no-sandbox: - exec /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave --no-sandbox -- "$@" + exec /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave -- "$@"

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. I don't have them enabled and admittedly I don't have time at the moment to spin up a VM to test them, but let me know if you still run into issues. Arch's decision to not enable user namespaces by default make me wary to try to persuade people to enable it, so the message about it if it's disabled is relatively benign. Also, build doesn't really feel like the right place to do that check and echo that warning message, but I'm not aware of a better one (except maybe an .install script, but if it's all the same I'd like to avoid that).

https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/11134 Can you please correct the launcher to only run with --no-sandbox if CONFIG_USER_NS=y and kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 are not set?
