I am running macOS 10.13 and do not want to upgrade to 10.15. I have Brave browser version 1.57.47, which does not have a problem for me. I missed the release of 1.57.64, which is the latest version I can use, and I want to update to it now.
I have searched and searched, and the “best” I can find is “Brave-Browser-.dmg or Brave-Browser-.pkg will install this version.” (found in multiple places). But I’m given no clue for what to put in place of the “*”. I tried “Brave-Browser-1.57.64.dmg” and “Brave-Browser-v1.57.64.dmg” without success.
Having received no response, I did some more searching and learned that the downloads are listed on github under “Assets” on the page for the desired program version (e.g., https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases?q=Release+v1.57.64). I was able to download the old version that I wanted from there.
(Note, however, that “page=22” might need to be changed after there are subsequent releases. You will need to look through the pages, using the page links at the bottom off each page, to find the release quoted below. Look carefully, because the order of releases is not at all straightforward. Also, note that there are “Beta”, “Nightly”, and “Release” releases.)
Scroll down the page to the section for “Release v1.57.64 (Chromium 116.0.5845.188)”.
In that section, click on “Assets” to open the list of downloads.
The file I used (for macOS 10.13.6, High Sierra, on a Mac with an Intel processor) is “Brave-Browser-universal.dmg”.
Thank you. This worked for me. Found it on Page 23. There was no warning that the latest version would disable Brave completely. I was a bit frantic until I found your post.
If it doesn’t work for you, follow spalding’s instructions. You may have to keep going back, checking each page, then scrolling down the page till you find the download you need. There’s a lot to sif tthrough, but if you persevere you’ll find it.
“The file I used (for macOS 10.13.6, High Sierra) is ‘Brave-Browser-universal.dmg’.”
I did not mention that my Mac has an Intel processor, which is why I chose the “universal” build.
If your Mac has an Apple processor (e.g., M1), you can use that file or the file “Brave-Browser-arm64.dmg”. A recent post to this thread stated that this URL will download that file:
I just realized that your Mac has an Intel processor, because you wrote that you have macOS High Sierra. (The oldest version of macOS for a Mac with an M1 processor is Big Sur.)
So, you should use the file “Brave-Browser-universal.dmg”. This URL will download that file:
Thank you for this. Its actually really infuriating. My mac is from 2012 & will not upgrade more than it has already. So I am being bullied into buying a new computer to keep up with the updates… what a racket.
i have got my brave running smooth
