    As yet another browser based on chromium-browser, it hasn't been added, and it has its controversies, so it's very unlikely it will ever be added to Mageia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Critical_reception

    If you want it, you'll have to install it from https://brave.com/ at your own risk,
    and without support from Mageia.

    You are not missing much. I tried it our yesterday and it
    presently much like Chromium. I dunno how anyone gets anything done
    with such tools.

    Try SeaMonkey which gave me the most useful results in my trial
    to see if I could get around a problem that had nothing to do with
    browsers except for a obscure setting. SeaMonkey found a reference
    to similar problems and I only had to send a note to the ISP tech
    support and by evening my problem was over.

    I like to have a package with many utilities like Seamonkey. But I often
    get messages saying it is out of date. Sometimes it was Facebook that
    issued the warning and sometimes it is Seamonkey himself. At Mageia he
    changed his name to iceape. I don't even know how I found that out.

    After using Brave I stopped receiving ads for subjects seen in the browser.

    I didn't know about the controversies about Brave. I just wanted to find
    the program in the list of repositories.

    Well those controversies have apparently bitten you-- the explanation
    was that it was precisely thos controversies which prevent its being in
    the Mageia repositories.

    In Mageia I will try to use some other browser.

    I use bind to block ads and known malware sites. I don't use facebook or twitter,
    so have them blocked. Blocking their scripts on all the sites that have them loaded by their ads, and "share" icons, noticeably speeds up browsing. Blocked sites are all redirected to localhost, where I have apache running that returns
    a not found error almost immediately, instead of waiting for a timeout. https://github.com/Trellmor/bind-adblock has an example of how to set up bind.

    The Brave is good for lazy people like me.
