Brave is available as a Flatpak package from Flathub. While it is maintained by Brave Software, it is not yet working as well as our native packages. We currently recommend that users who are able to use our official package repositories do so instead of using the Flatpak.

Snap

You can find Brave in the Snapcraft Store, but while it is maintained by Brave Software, it is not yet working as well as our native packages. We currently recommend that users who are able to use our official package repositories do so instead of using the Snap.

(Pre-)releases for all channels are also available on GitHub in DEB/RPM/ZIP formats ( changelog).
