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.
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...
Can we please get an update to the new source, per tuckerboniface ? This package has been out of date for a long time.
Please use the new location https://github.com/brave/brave-browser
@Kabir Please ask that on a Brave related forum, or check the issue tracker. This is only the comment section for the AUR package, and we just wrap up what the upstream project produces in a way that can be easily installed on Archlinux. Your question is about the upstream project, not this package.
Has the feature to edit browser / website fonts and themes been implemented yet? Thanks!
@caleb Awesome, great work. Wish I'd added you weeks ago, sorry again!

Thanks @mischka. I'll work on these two first and then maybe approach the -git package owner about normalizing these three again.
I did a whole bunch of cleanup to the packaging, mostly to closer match current AUR packaging guidelines, but also to simply the scripting, make it easier to track changes to the files being injected by this package separate from the PKGBUILD, and generally clean things up. You might have a look at the git log to see what I did. Notably only the change to the wrapper script (moving the warning message from build()) bumped the pkgver, everything else in the installed should end up being identical, it just gets there in a safer way.
@caleb Great thanks! Except I forgot that I already orphaned the -git one a while ago for similar reasons so I can no longer add you to that one, ha. Thanks again!

@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.
