Brave-browser: Default flags configuration file

[rauldipeas]

On Linux, Chromium has a file /etc/chromium-browser/default, where i can set some flags, Brave has something like that?

[maximbaz]

On Arch Linux we use the following chromium-launcher, which knows how to read $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chromium-flags.conf. Perhaps this is something that can be used for Brave as well?

[maximbaz]

This has been beautifully solved in the Arch Linux package for Brave using the following wrapper:

#!/bin/sh

XDG_CONFIG_HOME="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"
BRAVE_USER_FLAGS_FILE="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/brave-flags.conf"
if [[ -f $BRAVE_USER_FLAGS_FILE ]]; then
    USER_FLAGS="$(cat $BRAVE_USER_FLAGS_FILE | sed 's/#.*//')"
fi

/usr/bin/brave $@ $USER_FLAGS

@rauldipeas you can try creating that file (/etc/chromium-browser/default) or also trying to create /etc/brave-browser/default. It should work, if Chromium supports it

I've used the solution @maximbaz shared in the past personally

Closing as I think the question is answered? Please re-open or just post again if the above doesn't work and we can help from there 😄

@bsclifton doesn't work :) Maybe just implement it on the /usr/bin script provided by brave?
