On the topic of adding software to the Void repos, you can find some pretty comprehensive instructions here: https://wiki.voidlinux.org/Xbps-src.  Once you get Brave working on your own machine, you can follow those instructions and it will at least be included in the xbps-src repo which is the easiest way to add software to the project.

As for people being nasty, there's a lot of people on the mailing list who are simple users and not devs for the project, myself included.

Last, in response to hiro: what's wrong with Firefox and FF-based browsers?  Last I checked Mozilla is pretty committed to open source, and what little information collection they have enabled is easy enough to opt out of.

If that's how "Devs" act or treat general users or whatever, then forget Void. Don't need this shit from anyone.
