or simply do as root
Code: Select all
cd /usr/bin/
ln -s /opt/brave/brave-browser .
In my book, to have to move into the binary folder of any program in order to start it via terminal is quite…
how do I say that in a polite way? "
Less convenient."

Seems brave is as annoying in hogging the status as my default browser as chrome or chromium is.
Without
me telling
it to be my default browser,
it still sets itself up as default browser in my system. Palemoon to stay the default browser
Thank you
NOT very much,
I prefer choosing for myself which browser should be the default, and I want
Palemoon to stay the default browser. PM is loaded via boot and usually always started first. Sometimes I need a 2nd browser… and when its Chrom* based that
jerk software is always setting itself up as the default without me saying so.
That annoys me.

Update
I just installed
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... -night-eye
Does anyone of you fine folks know which files I need to save into my 992-rootcopy_5.0rc3-RECENT.xzm module for saving such things?
I want to only save the bare minimum of needed files. ( Palemoon gets its own saved-settings-and-extensions file ) - All other programs go into 992-rootcopy_5.0rc3-RECENT.xzm . Hopefully what will be added by saving what's needed to have Brave remember the "dark-mode-night-eye" is not too large.
I presume all needed files (or subfolder(s) and files) are all in guest's ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser .
Sadly, the files in the subfolders of ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Local Extension Settings are cryptic and less helpful -
none are able to tell me which extension they refer to.

At least it is possible to figure out what ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Extensions/alncdjedloppbablonallfbkeiknmkdi is:
/home/guest/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Extensions/alncdjedloppbablonallfbkeiknmkdi/4.7.2_0/manifest.json says via grep default_title manifest.json
"default_title": "Night Eye"

Hopefully this in /home/guest/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default

Is all I need to save… (fingers crossed, knocking on wood)
Added in 5 minutes 37 seconds:
To test my attempt, I
· copy all of /home/guest/.config/BraveSoftware/ to a /tmp folder on an ext[234] partition (as backup)
· deactivate the brave module
· remove all files and folders in /home/guest/.config/BraveSoftware/
· only copy the above mentioned files and folders back into /home/guest/.config/BraveSoftware/
· activate the brave module
test if extension "Night Eye" works as it should.
If not, I have to figure out what else files (and probably folders and files) I also have to save…

For now, my 992-rootcopy module went up from a pleasant 56 KB to 360 KB
Me thinks after I figured out what needs to be saved from guest's ~/ for Brave to correctly recall "Night Mode", I will upgrade my main Brave module incorporating that stuff (including the root created symlink, see above) and leave it out of my 992-rootcopy module, reverting that back to its 56 KB.
And I sure do not want any browser without the pleasant-for-the-eyes night mode.
Would be also nice to know how to kick Brave in its butt so that it NOT sets itself up as default browser, but as it seems, no one on here seems to know (I asked the same stuff about chrome and chromium, and all are chrome based browsers, so a solution to that for one variant should work for all, but sadly, I never got any helpful info on that.)
