How to remove Brave Browser (Zorin 18 Core Beta)

Tutorials & Guides
1

Update. Been using Zorin 18 Core Beta as a VM in virt-manager on PCLOS Debian KDE and to remove via the terminal:

sudo apt-get purge brave-browser

you will be asked for your login password and after you hit the enter button you will be prompted if you want to continue, [y/n].

If you continue with 'y', you will be advised to remove Brave Keyring with:

sudo apt autoremove

this will then remove the Brave Keyring and nothing else.

Next you will want to remove the repository entry for Brave Browser - the best tool for this is to use Stacer. To play safe, first switch it to off (you will be asked for your user password), then select the repository and click on delete at the bottom of the window, again you will need to enter your user password.

You can uninstall the Brave Keyrings directly with Brave itself with:

sudo apt purge brave-browser brave-keyrings

As an Alternative, it is possible to delete the Source Files - if wished! - with the Command:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave*.list

It would be good to describe an alternative method to using Stacer. I would not expect to install Stacer, just to remove repository for Brave. Zab.

I was looking at it from the perspective of users being averse to the terminal.
