This simple tutorial shows how to install the latest Brave web browser in Ubuntu 21.10, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 20.<\/p>\n

Brave is a free and open-source web browser based on Chromium. It features faster page loading speed<\/b>, and blocks ads and trackers<\/b> by default.<\/p>\n

The browser offers an official apt repository. So Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint based systems can easily install the software and receive updates via built-in update manager utility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/i>
To make things easier, Ubuntu 18.04 and higher can install the community maintained Brave snap package directly from Ubuntu Software.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div><\/div>\n

1.<\/b> Firstly, search for and open “terminal” from your system start menu. When it opens, paste the command below into terminal and hit Enter:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl<\/pre>\n
Type user password (no asterisk feedback) and hit Enter. It will add https support for apt package manager and install curl to grab the GPG key.<\/i><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2.<\/b> Next copy and paste the command below, and run to download & install the GPG key:<\/p>\n
sudo curl -fsSLo \/usr\/share\/keyrings\/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https:\/\/brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com\/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg<\/pre>\n
And run command to add the apt repository to your system. So far, only 64-bit PC \/ laptop is supported.<\/p>\n
echo \"deb [signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https:\/\/brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com\/ stable main\"|sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/brave-browser-release.list<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
3.<\/b> Finally refresh system cache and install the web browser by running the commands one by one:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update\r\n\r\nsudo apt install brave-browser<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Uninstall Brave & Apt Repository:<\/h4>\n
To remove the Brave web browser, run command in terminal:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove --autoremove brave-browser<\/pre>\n
Unlike PPA, Brave’s apt repository does not list in Software & Updates<\/b> utility under Other Software<\/b> tab. However, you can remove the config file easily by running command in terminal:<\/p>\n
