Installing Brave Browser on Fedora 41: Easy Workaround

Fix

The official page to install Brave Browser on Fedora 41 (dnf5) was updated, follow the link to install:

https://brave.com/linux/#fedora-41-dnf5

I installed Brave on Fedora 41 using this workaround until they update the guide on the official page and the repository file.

The dnf config-manager option on this Fedora release was change from --add-repo to addrepo and it doesn’t recognize the option autorefresh=1 on .repo file.

Change the second step on https://brave.com/linux/#fedora-rockyrhel

Download the file: https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo

There’s only follow lines:

[brave-browser]
name=Brave Browser
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/$basearch

Remove or comment the line: autorefresh=1

run (on the same path that download and edit the file):

sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=./brave-browser.repo

And follow the rest of the steps in the guide:

To install asc (GPG Key):

sudo rpm --import https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc

And, finally, install Brave Browser on Fedora 41:

sudo dnf install brave-browser

I also posted this workaround on the Brave community forum:

If you prefer, there's no issue with installing the Flatpak package.
