I definitely agree with this approach. Is it possible to add other popular browsers from the AUR into extra? Brave, to me, seems like an excellent candidate to be moved. The fact that it isn't makes me feel there's a good reason why, I'm just not sure of it yet.
Brave is open source, but building Brave without the official signing keys will disable features like Safe browsing, fetching extensions, fetching adblock rules, Brave Rewards, Brave News, etc.
There is little point in providing a package that doesn’t offer those benefits. And we won’t repackage binaries for open source software.
