I too use Buster and I get the same error.
While checking apt-key list, I didn't notice anything weird.
I'd rather have Brave on my system than Firefox, as my internet speed is slow (typical for Germany) and Brave really speeds things up.

I also get the same error

E: Failed to fetch https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt/dists/buster/InRelease  403  Forbidden [IP: 52.218.201.216 443]

When using browser, the same URL returns 403 with the following headers:

x-amz-id-2: g3qZYwNrhdFAqIlk8uW0D+wheVDvMjcyY5yDhH6v+DQkHBgSRQSRRYyFsFaPCG+z5NqzMp0P3/A=

I assume this means brave's AWS-S3 is misconfigured and this prevents any apt based installation on debian based systems. Unfortunately the same is true for brave-beta on brave-apt-staging.

I'm experiencing the same problem.

Any progress on this? Can't install brave in Debian.

same here using PureOS green.

Same with Ubuntu 18.04

I'm getting this problem on Debian testing/buster.

I have debian buster as well. This is how I fixed it

Edit your file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-buster.list

and change

deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt buster main

to

deb [arch=amd64] https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/brave-apt stretch main

Since stretch is the closest release to buster. I verified that Brave works just fine after doing this.
Of course, do apt-get update and apt-get install brave.

[nikolas]

@rook2pawn thanks. I just switched buster to stretch and that worked on my system.

[cblancos]

This worked for me, thanks

[ghost]

The snapcraft version too works quite well.

[bsclifton]

@ruxandra-valcu @DestinFaroda @cblancos @nikolas @rook2pawn @malachid @miltonhowe @VaclavSynacek I've updated our release script to include buster and re-pushed. Can you please try again? Should work great without changing your apt sources list 😄

Ubuntu 18 (bionic) was also updated recently too- should work great 👍

[VaclavSynacek]

Works on Debian buster now. Thanks.

[peculiarity]

@rook2pawn Thanks for the tip! :) That works fine with Horizon as well!
