There is an install script for linux front and center on the page (classic curl into sh). For other distros, they’re having you add their own repository and install from that. Just as sketchy.
It’s unwise to trust Brave, anyway.

curl | sh is the worst security front door I’ve seen At least check the script first so it’s understood

That was an example. And as someone who works in sec, I know the benefits of a package manager. "I only need to trust brave". I don't get it, static linking, curl to bash pipes and userepace install and everybody thinks that is fine. But as someone who needs to write a security concept for Linux in the office so I can finally use it at work, no that is not ok. That is shit. Rust on desktop is also a nightmare for example. No I do not hate arch, I hate concepts and mindsets creeping into the Linux world
