i thought about this because brave is advertised as an open source browser then it might be on fdroid just like duckduckgo but it was not , can anybody tell why?
@simp5577 I’m guessing the answer from a few years ago is still valid for the moment. Just is a low priority, especially since Brave always has the APKs available through the Github if people want them.
What @Saoiray said is right and also it’s available indirectly on F-Droid via the FFUpdater package:

For the same reasons Firefox which is also open source is not available in F-Droid.
Official Firefox has some proprietary bits, Pocket, widevine, certain search engines & bookmarks, etc.
F-Droid will ask them to be removed and of course Mozilla won’t. That’s why Fennec which is a Firefox fork and has them removed, is on F-Droid.
F-Droid will ask the same from Brave, to remove from it any proprietary bits, widevine, Brave Rewards etc.
Of course Brave is going to say no to them, like Mozilla.
