Brave is a web browser based on chromium that claims to be faster and safer by blocking tracking scripts and ads.
At the moment, Funtoo only ships brave as binary.
root # emerge www-client/brave-bin
If Brave does not start and shows an error about sandboxing, you may need to enable userns in your kernel.
root # root # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone root # root # echo 'kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1' > /etc/sysctl.d/unprivileged_userns_clone.conf
To do so, you can append the following line into /etc/sysctl.conf:
/etc/sysctl.conf kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1
and run sysctl -p.
Running brave with the --no-sandbox flag is not recommended for security reasons.
