Provides independent APK installation package and SHA-256 to allow more people to access brave

Hello, I am from China, a country where the internet is strictly censored by the government. I really appreciate Brave because it actively protects user privacy during internet browsing. For users in countries with strict internet censorship, Brave helps block many unethical internet companies (including but not limited to Baidu, Tencent, ByteDance, Qihoo 360, and Alibaba) that aggressively force ads on users in frustrating ways. This makes for a much better browsing experience.

However, I noticed that Brave does not seem to offer a standalone Android app download. The only way to obtain it is through Google Play, which is not easily accessible for users in some countries. Therefore, I hope Brave can provide a standalone APK installation package along with SHA-256, so that more people can easily access Brave without barriers.
thanks you

Thanks for your reply. I noticed that most users can’t easily find the download entrance of Brave on GitHub. It is difficult for those people. And based on people’s trust in Brave, I believe they are more willing to go to Brave.com. Thank you.
