Open in Brave™ Browser

Send the current website, link, or all open tabs to the Brave web browser

Open in Brave™ Browser Extension

The Open in Brave extension allows you to effortlessly send the current website, links, or all open tabs directly to the Brave browser. No more manual copying and pasting—just a single click to streamline your browsing experience!

When using the extension, if the Brave browser is already running, your link will be opened in a new tab. If it’s not open, the extension will launch a new Brave instance and direct the link there. You can keep the original tab open or choose to close it in the Brave browser as per your preference.

To utilize this feature, installing a native client is necessary, with guidance provided in the extension. Support currently covers macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems, with tutorial videos available for ease of installation. Upgrade your browsing today!

No other (binary) file needs to be installed in September 2023, just the extension. Works flawlessly.
