Would also like to say that Brave now recommends against the Flatpak for security reasons. See [Don't link to Brave's Flatpak (Desktop Browsers)](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/dont-link-to-braves-flatpak-desktop-browsers/27064)  
[Installing Brave on Linux | Brave](https://brave.com/linux/#:~:text=it%20modifies%20Chromium%20sandboxing%20in%20ways%20which%20have%20not%20been%20vetted%20by%20the%20Brave%20or%20Chromium%20security%20teams)
