Can I use brave for my operating system?

1

Hi,
I’m making my own operating system (free and open source) and I was just wondering,
Since Brave is open source can I include it as the default browser? (It’s a linux distro so you guys don’t need to make compatibility spaces if yes)

Hello @Hecker

which distro your os based on it or you mean you just used the linux kernal and built a totally new one

3

you have 2 option

  1. use same installation way if your os based on any distro on this link https://brave.com/linux/#linux

  2. if you just use the kernal and build totaly new distro then build it using the source code from the github https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

Hello!

Yes it is perfectly fine for your to redistribute and/or use Brave as your default browser, as long as it is not modified. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that if you do go this route it is important to ensure that updates to the browser are made quickly if not using our repos to ensure the browser always has the latest updates and security fixes.
