This runs as spot, and contains its own 'mini-spot' directory within the 'PROFILE' directory. I've got enough other browsers to maintain as it is, so I'm not looking to add to the collection! IF it should prove to be popular enough, I may change course on this one, but.we'll see how it goes, first. Please note:- I am NOT, currently, intending to make this a regular build. I've put together a bang-up-to-date Brave browser in my standard 'portable' format. No "Category" is defined, so Pup doesn't know where to put it. One small point? The Menu Entry isn't EVER going to show.not in a month of Sundays. It always wanted to re-download & re-install WideVine EVERY time you wanted to use it.! I could never get WideVine to function properly in this.or rather, it WOULD (but only ever for the current session). desktop launcher will be created in ~/.local/share/applications, so it should appear in the Menu. Widevine should be operational, profile folder "brave-profile" will appear at the same level as the appimage, once launched.Īlso "Brave-Portable64". Hi All, here's Brave-Portable64 appimage, made from brave-browser-beta (64-bit). But this doesn't seem to work unless you have the browser installed in full, standard layout I'd hazard a guess that the locations it looks in have to be 'in the $PATH'.and the portables are anything but standard. Remembering back to my own early days with Puppy, and mindful of the fact that the best way to grow and to attract new blood to the community is to make things as easy-to-use as possible, this is why I build so many portable packages now.in addition to, of course, making them as easy-to-operate as I can.Ĭhromium-based browsers have a command line 'switch', -silent-launch, which lets you start the browser at boot time without actually showing any time you click to run it thereafter, it's as near as dammit instantaneous.because it is in fact already running. All my 'portable' packages have this 'external' LAUNCH button. Well, this old boy wasn't too computer-savvy, but a sweet old guy for all that very polite, helpful to a fault, and ever so grateful that somebody was going out of their way to help him, so.I figured it might make it easier for him if I sym-linked the launch script out one level, and re-named it to make it more obvious! Which is what I did and following success with getting the 'clones' working in portable format, too, I decided to stick with it. I started on these portables after Fred published the portable-Firefox he'd cobbled together, except with his you enter the browser directory to click on a script. Sure, I've played around with AppImages, RoxApps, self-extracting scripts, in fact all manner of portable formats over the last couple of years.but this particular way of doing things, I came up with last year when I was helping a lovely old guy over at with a 'portable'-Firefox that he wanted to be able to move from one 'puter to another. PepperFlash updater included.Īnyways anybody wants to try this out, you can get the latest one here:-Īctually, that's news to me. Usual instructions download, unzip, locate where you want. We shouldn't need to be pulling stunts like that to watch NetFlix any longer.not these days. I had to 'borrow' several bits from Chrome to get the magic to happen. And this is despite the Brave team supposedly having fixed it over a year ago. WideVine is operational - finally! - though it's a bit more fiddly to get working than many of the other clones. I finally tracked this GitHub page down, which gives all the development snapshot releases, hot off the press.although to give 'em credit - fair play to them! - they DO warn you the 'snapshots' are not stable enough for daily driver usage, and may frequently crash/freeze up without warning. deb packages for this is a bit of a mission, TBH Brave's website Linux installation instructions are all about doing so by adding repositories, signing with GPG keys, etc., etc.the usual shit. This is 1.11.97, from the newest "stable" desktop release over at GitHub.released just 6 days ago. In case anybody's "up for it", I've just thrown together a 'portable' Brave package.
