Switchciorng to the brave browser on LinuxMint
So following the article about the issues around Mozilla Firefox, I decided to try and have a look at it,
As a more experienced user, I tried to find this in the Mint repositories, a quick way to do this for me is to type apt search brave.
```
apt search brave
p gnome-brave-icon-theme - blue variation of the GNOME-Colors icon th
p libraven0 - Raven library for budgie-desktop
p shiki-brave-theme - blue variation of the Shiki-Colors theme
```
So from that, brave is not in the Mint repos.
Switching to duckduckgo in firefox, searching for brave browser it comes up as second in the list (fire fox being first),
so on the brave website, I eventually spot a small get brave button in the corner, leading to
https://brave.com/linux/
So my options to install seem to mostly involve the command line.
This is probably fine for most users who are comfortable with the command line, for users used to window or any modern OS they may be put off.
The advantage with apt (and rpm) etc is that once a package is installed via software managers that package will also update when new versions are added to the repository, or importantly any security patches can also be pulled in as soon as available.
So why isn't brave part of repository in #LinuxMint
