Today we look at how to install Brave Browser on Ubuntu 18.04. Brace is an open source browser, and as most browsers based on Chromium Browser. A person can also use all of Chrome's extensions in Brave and they are working on something unique which is called Brave Rewards which is a work in process and a good adblocker and more. About a month or two ago I started to use Brave as my default browser and happy with it.
There are two ways to install Brave. As shown in the video, a person can use Snap to install it easily or via the terminal. A snap is easy but I realized, in my own experience that Brave is better supported via the terminal with a few commands which a person just need to copy/paste into a terminal. In the commands section, I will give commands for both ways.
1) Install with Snap:
sudo apt install brave

2) Install with the Terminal:
sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https
curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-`lsb_release -sc`.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser brave-keyring
