Brave Now Compiles for ARM!

[pakman]

I doubt it, firefox fits the Librem 5 because there is a package called: firefox-esr-mobile-config that applies the necessary patches to make it fit a 5 inch screen.
I would imagine that brave would need something similar.

@raenrfm

Now all they need is to make an adaptive build.

Following the Firefox trail:

• Debian package page: Debian -- Details of package firefox-esr-mobile-config in bookworm
• Upstream source (from PostmarketOS): postmarketOS / mobile-config-firefox · GitLab
• … where they say “This does not replace a proper implementation in Firefox upstream”

I have found Brave really performant on the L5 as well. I have also tried the Android version under Waydroid and it isn’t bad at all, but an adaptive/small-screen version of the Linux/ARM build would be far better of course. I know very little about all this, but I wonder what the best approach would be? Could it be done with libadwaita, or would the controversy about theming be a problem? Maybe something could be done with a Chrome extension?

We could put in a feature request, but I guess that we would need to make a compelling case to attract developer interest.
