@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.

Note that sh might not be bash. I use dash, and so brave.sh will not work. You could just change the shebang to #!/usr/bin/env bash.

gnome-keyring is required for the password saving feature to work.

I also noticed password generation is not working. Is there a package that's needed to bring that feature over from Chrome to Chromium based browsers?

It shows that it is not set to the default browser, even when it actually is. https://www.just4dummies.com/gmail-sign-up

To fix default browser under chrome and to avoid showing the icon two times in the gnome dock, you can create a file ~/.local/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop with the following content:

(the most important line here is the StartupWMClass=brave-browser pointing to the correct window manager class name)

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Brave Browser
# Only KDE 4 seems to use GenericName, so we reuse the KDE strings.
# From Ubuntu's language-pack-kde-XX-base packages, version 9.04-20090413.
GenericName=Web Browser
GenericName[de]=Web-Browser
# Not translated in KDE, from Epiphany 2.26.1-0ubuntu1.
# Gnome and KDE 3 uses Comment.
Comment=Access the Internet
Comment[de]=Internetzugriff
Exec=/usr/bin/brave %U
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=brave-browser
Terminal=false
Icon=brave
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
Actions=new-window;new-private-window;
Name[de_DE]=Brave Browser

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=New Window
Name[de]=Neues Fenster
Exec=/usr/bin/brave

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=New Incognito Window
Name[de]=Neues Inkognito-Fenster
Exec=/usr/bin/brave --incognito
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/unknown;x-scheme-handler/about;text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;image/webp;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;

And as suggested by @whezzel update ~/.config/mimeapps.list to use brave-browser.desktop for all browser related entries.

@dencrypt Regarding brave shield settings: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/1150

As @asynec I also have the problem with browser always telling me to set default browser. Tried the Suggestions from @whezzel but no avail unfortunately.

<s>Also the Brave Shield settings (in the address bar) has a UI that lacks any icons or text. It's just the sliders and the name of the page. Hard to set anything when I don't know what it is :) However great work anyway. These are just small complaints tbh and it works otherwise fine!</s>
This is an upstream bug.

I use Cinnamon DE and had similar issues. I was able to fix it by editing ~/.config/mimeapps.list and changing all occurrences of chromium.desktop (my previous browser) to brave-bin.desktop, and deleting all the BraveBrowser data stored in ~/.cache and ~/.config.

I'm not sure why, but brave bugged me, for several days, about setting it to default, but a friend of mine said he only clicked 'Set as Default' once and it stopped asking him.

Any idea why this package always complains that it is not set to the default browser, even when it actually is? Using Gnome, fwiw.

@simonorono Awesome. Thanks for such a quick fix

simonorono commented on 2018-11-23 16:57 (UTC)

I just solved that issue on version 0.56.15 @whezzel
