I just checked https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases

It seems that you can build brave from source.

A www-client/brave-bin should be quite easy, too.

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=brave-bin describes how to install brave-bin.
Comment 3 A. Person 2019-05-09 12:48:38 UTC
I would love to see this in portage FWIW.
Comment 4 Joe Harvell 2019-07-01 03:15:07 UTC
I would also love to see this in portage.  I was able to build from git (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser.git) branch master:

commit 8af00a618b581da0792efeb2f0773bffac3cece3 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: brave-builds <devops@brave.com>
Date:   Sat Jun 29 12:00:12 2019 +0000

    Bump version (0.69.17)


From what I can tell it is being built differently than the www-client/chromium build....it is using clang instead of gcc, and also the chromium ebuild is debundling to use system libraries whereas the brave build seems to be using bundled ones.
Comment 5 Andreas Thalhammer 2019-11-14 14:46:15 UTC
Brave 1.0 has been released.
Comment 6 anonymous 2021-02-07 13:39:57 UTC
I close this because there is already an overlay that has this.
Comment 7 Vitaly Zdanevich 2021-02-07 14:10:55 UTC
Overlay is good, but please add to the main Portage tree.
Comment 8 Thomas Capricelli 2021-02-12 16:04:14 UTC
Would have been great to point to the relevant overlay(s).
Comment 9 anonymous 2021-02-13 02:07:04 UTC
Find brave-overlay on https://overlays.gentoo.org
Comment 10 anonymous 2021-02-13 02:07:30 UTC
On http://gpo.zugaina.org/, you can search overlays.
