zip file, a name showing the date for example: “BraveSoftware_20210823_Monday.zip”. zip compressed, and then under File (menu), select Compress. The Compress command is under the File menu of the Finder. I suggest that you Compress (.zip) that “BraveSoftware” folder (if it exists on your Mac - you might show a different folder name). Might have a Brave Browser folder named “BraveSoftware” Users/your_username_aka_shortname/Library/Application Support/ On the other hand, in your user account’s Application Support: For example, there are (Mac OS 10.12.n Sierra) two Brave Browser cache directories that could be moved to the Trash, “BraveSoftware” and “”:Ĭurrently (Sierra example) - there is no “Brave Browser” type folder therein. Generally, therein, you can - after quitting associated/relevant application(s), move your cache files n folders that you select Users/your_username_aka_shortname/Library/Caches/
On the other hand, your user account “Library” folder and its “Caches” folder: System level Cache files - generally you do not mess with these very often: Users/your_username_aka_shortname/Library/ Users/your_username_aka_shortname/Desktop/ Your machine user account folder, aka home folder “your_username_aka_shortname”: There, and hereafter, I am referring to the location of files and folders - assuming a stable release of Brave Browser is/was the only installed version. The “Brave Browser.app” application is located: Where some things are at, using Mac OS X: Please Quit all Brave Browser applications. Some of this may be familiar to you, but I do not know how familiar you are with your Mac. Getting familiar with all the locations of the items mentioned, will help you a lot, before taking steps. I did not find anything that looks relevant yet.Īll this leaves me very puzzled – and a bit worried that a future upgrade could bite me in the rear. I’ve read that in 10.14 there have been changes to how application compatibility is handled, and that it has some issues, but that was about 32 bit applications. It’s quite strange that we both have latest Brave running on 10.11.6 (me) and 10.12.6 (you), yet it refuses to run on a 10.14.1 requesting minimum 11.0 – it doesn’t make sense at all. I haven’t yet looked into the update process, I don’t know – but I’m curious too.Ĭomponent updates shouldn’t cause the issue described here though, even if there were to be incompatible binaries.īrave should fail after attempting to run in that case, as opposed to macOS refusing to run the application in the first place. I don’t know what is go-updater but componentupdater must be the one hosting updates for brave://components – BTW I just noticed that first time download (and updates I suppose) come from laptop-udpates.
