brave opt compatability

When you install a web app with brave, it executes brave in /opt which doesn't exist on the host. This script adds some bash scripts in /opt/brave.com to redirect to brave in distrobox. It runs the exported binaries. Requires root access to run. DO NOT USE IT IF YOU INSTALLED BRAVE ON THE HOST (flatpak, snap, and extracted archive versions do not count. Only when installed with the host system's package manager.).

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dnkmmr69420/brave-distrobox/main/opt-compatability | sudo bash

To revert

sudo rm -rf /opt/brave.com
