Overall, the Settings tab is a mixture of the ordinary and trendy that is convenient but not outstanding. At the bottom is a grab bag of settings that includes autofill for passwords, payment methods and addresses, download directories, and hardware interaction. The tab includes the usual appearance choices, as well as settings for a cryptocurrency wallet, a secure search engine, Chrome extensions, and peer-to-peer networking. However, before you browse, you will probably want to click the Settings tab to customize the browser (Figure 2). Regardless of how you install, Brave opens on a dashboard that has to be bypassed by clicking on the Home button before you can begin to browse. Community built packages are also available for Arch, Manjaro, Solus, and Flatpak.

Snap packages are also available, although the download page warns that they are less polished. Brave has official packages for Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE, optimized for releases that are a couple of years old, but which should still work.
