I would like to offer you a package I designed for installing the Brave browser. Its creation was inspired by the tis-chrome package, given that the two browsers share the same foundation.
I have performed the installation, uninstallation and update of the package.
In this package, I have also integrated the ADMX files for GPOs, a feature that might interest some users.
Since I cannot upload the archive .waptI'm going to share the function code with you.
Here is the file code setup.py :
