Brave Browser Help

I've recently downloaded Brave as an alternative to Chrome which I want to uninstall at some point. I really like Brave and it runs smoothly. There are two things that I'm trying to do: does anyone have the line to delete in the registry to get rid of the reminder about 'to get future updates you'll need windows 10.'

Secondly, the only thing Brave won't do is let me download a video from Youtube. I can't seem to find another browser that does this, Citrio takes me to a broken link page. Anyone know of a suitable browser for a laptop that can do this (apart from Chrome, Edge or Firefox).

Winaero Tweaker can disable the upgrade warnings or you should be able to google the specific reg entries pretty easily.
Browsers are usually pretty flaky for downloading YouTube videos and the addons made for it usually are bad or don't work. Use something like Jdownloader 2 or ytdlp there is several apps that are good, those 2 work well,

Sorry i am assuming that you mean the windows warnings, if brave has warnings then i have no idea not familiar with Brave.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the video downloaders.

Yes, it is the windows 10 warning in the Brave browser I am trying to get rid of. "To get future Brave updates you'll need Windows 10 or later". I have seen a lot of discussions about getting rid of this by deleting a registry key but not the specific line for Brave or where it actually is in the registry.

Disable the upgrade popup notification in microsoft edge?

I've used 3D Youtube downloader for years on all my PCs. It's tiny, portable and runs on XP and up. The author regularly updates it whenever Google makes changes to thwart downloaders.

; for Google Chrome
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

; for Brave
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

Yeah I agree I wouldn't even bother with brave focus a browser that is actually targeting windows 7 there is a few or use one that has a LTS version.

Thank you. I am trying to run this from the command line but something's not working. I've attached a screenshot of the error messages.

I was able to install Brave easily and to be honest, given the trouble I had with Firefox and a few other browsers, Brave is working like a dream and my laptop seems happier running it. I will need a second browser at some point, so I will look into the Chromium browser.

Please read this thread if you really want to get rid of that browser notification:

Forget browser extensions, this is a tiny, portable app I have been using for years to download Youtube videos. No ads, malware or other garbage.

You should try an updated browser since Brave stopped supporting Windows 7. Here's another updated Windows 7 Chromium browser.

Those aren't commands to enter from the command line. From your first post, I thought you were familiar with working in the regedit console, so my post gave you the registry key name and value you need to add while in the console.

If you're not comfortable mucking around in regedit, you can automate it by using notepad to copy/paste the following lines into a plain text file, and naming it brave.reg (make sure to change the filename extension from .txt to .reg). Then double-click the brave.reg file and Windows should automatically add it the proper place in your registry.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001
