Hi, Googled and tried following some posted suggestions for Chromium policies in Linux, but when I test with below json I can’t get it to work with /etc/opt/brave/policies/managed { “BraveShieldsDisabledForUrls”: [ “https://malwaretips.com” ] } I tried looking in /home/kees/.var/app/com.brave.Browser/config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser and /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.brave.Browser But have no idea where policies are stored

Creative Australia governance review announced, class in the arts is overshadowed, DOGE support down and Big tech players throw shade at each other.

I decided to reach out on the Brave community forum as well: here Another user pointed to This comment by anonymous479 which demonstrated how to find/modify the “daily usage ping” toggle via the configuration variable `reporting_enabled` in the `~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Origin{-Nightly}/Local State`file. Quoting from my reply to that user’s post: > I just confirmed that in both of the test cases linked in my above post `reporting_enabled` is indeed set to false. Even when the toggle was not modified by the user before browser restart. > > What still confuses me here is that the UI of the “daily usage ping” still appears on first boot, but disappears after the browser is restarted for the first time regardless of user intervention. This may not _technically_ be broken, but it _does_ feel weird from a user perspective.

If you are against typing PS commands, you can add registry entries manually. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave

`$p=“HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave”; New-Item -Path $p -Force | Out-Null; $d=@{BraveRewardsDisabled=1;BraveWalletDisabled=1;TorDisabled=1;BraveVPNDisabled=1;BraveNewsDisabled=1;BraveTalkDisabled=1;BraveP3AEnabled=0;BraveStatsPingEnabled=0;BraveWebDiscoveryEnabled=0;BraveAIChatEnabled=0;BravePlaylistEnabled=0;BraveSpeedreaderEnabled=0;BraveWaybackMachineEnabled=0;PasswordManagerEnabled=0;AutofillCreditCardEnabled=0;AutofillAddressEnabled=0;BackgroundModeEnabled=0;BrowserSignin=0;MetricsReportingEnabled=0;DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled=0;PromotionalTabsEnabled=0}; foreach($k in $d.Keys){New-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name $k -Value $d[$k] -PropertyType DWord -Force | Out-Null}; gpupdate /force | Out-Null; Stop-Process -Name brave -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; Write-Host “Brave policies applied. Check brave://policy after restart.”` Run this as admin in PS. Does the cleanup and you don’t need to pay 60 USD for it. Result is below

If you look at the github gists from the OP link, you will see this: > [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave\ExtensionInstallForcelist] > “1”=“cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm” > “2”=“fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh” > “3”=“nkgllhigpcljnhoakjkgaieabnkmgdkb” > “4”=“edibdbjcniadpccecjdfdjjppcpchdlm” > “5”=“mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone” > “6”=“bbeaicapbccfllodepmimpkgecanonai” > “7”=“jaadjnlkjnhohljficgoddcjmndjfdmi” > “8”=“ldpochfccmkkmhdbclfhpagapcfdljkj”
