About

Brave Beta is the beta-channel macOS edition of Brave, a web browser focused on privacy. Brave says features are typically introduced in Nightly first, then moved to Beta for final checks, and finally merged into the full Release version. Beta is therefore intended for trying features before the full release; it is distinct from Brave’s Release and Nightly builds.

  • Installs the Brave Browser Beta.app application.
  • Provides the Beta build of the browser for macOS.
  • Brave’s official Beta page describes the channel as a place to try upcoming features and help test them before full release.

Install with Homebrew Cask using brew install --cask brave-browser@beta. The cask requires macOS 13 or later. After installation, open Brave Browser Beta from your Applications folder.
