Arch Linux User Repository

The disabled HW acceleration is caused by missing ANGLE libraries, which are now required for HW acceleration on Linux. I have reported the missing libraries to the Brave team and I have temporarily added a step to pull those libraries from Chrome in order to re-enable HW acceleration.

There seems to be a minor issue in version 1.13.76, which automatically disables GPU acceleration:

$ brave-dev

Downgrading to version 1.13.73 fixes the issue. Just something to be aware of before upgrading.

Will reset pkgrel moving forward. Thanks.

pkgrel should be set to 1 with version bumps.

Hi, thanks for maintaining. Is there any way the sandbox warning could be removed by default? I have to edit brave-dev-bin.sh manually every time to remove it. Thanks for your consideration.

This package is set to conflict with itself and cannot be installed using pacaur:

% pacaur -S brave-dev-bin   
:: Package brave-dev-bin not found in repositories, trying AUR...
:: resolving dependencies...
:: unresolvable package conflicts detected
:: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies: brave-dev-bin)
%

gconf is an obsolete configuration database system. Brave does not have this dependency.

One can install bave-bin and brave-dev-bin at the same time by just removing line 47 ln -s /usr/lib/PepperFlash "$pkgdir/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree and removing brave-bin from conflicts

You should use explicitly #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/usr/bin/env sh
