   I decided to test the latest Brave version which turned out not to be as   
   easily figured out how to get the offline installer as you'd think.   
      
   A. If you go to the Brave download page, all you get is a web stub.   
          
          
      But then that's useless for your software archives.   
      Especially if you're uninstalling & installing repeatedly as I am.   
      
   B. You can get the latest stable release from "someone's" archives, e.g.,   
          
      But then you are trusting that they're reputable.   
      They probably are - and you can check hashes - but there's a better way.   
      
   C. You would think you could get the latest release from GitHub, right?   
          
       a. Find the latest stable version   
       b. Expand the Assets section   
       c. Download BraveBrowserStandaloneSetup.exe for Windows   
      But there are a billion releases there, which are confusing to navigate.   
      
   D. A "trick" is to go to this GitHub repo Brave Release Tracker site:   
         
      This project automatically monitors Brave's official releases   
      and posts only the latest stable builds for Windows, macOS & Linux.   
      
      It updates hourly and includes direct download links to the   
      offline installers, but even then, you have to know how to find it.   
      a. Go to the Releases section of that tracker repo   
      b. Click the latest release (e.g., v1.81.135)   
            
      c. That takes you to a page with a text json file   
            
      Open that json file in a text editor & it tells you where the zip is.   
      
   With that in mind, here's how to get the latest stable Brave zip archive.   
   1. Go to the Brave Release Tracker:   
         
   2. Click the latest stable release (e.g., v1.81.135)   
   3. Save and then open the text file in any text editor.   
      brave_download_links.json   
   4. Find the Windows 64-bit offline installer link listed in that file:   
         
   5. Download the specified ZIP file.   
   6. Extract the contents (e.g., C:\Software\Chrome-Based\Brave\.)   
   7. Run the executable or installer executable inside that zip file.   
   8. (Optional) Verify the file integrity using the SHA-256 checksum:   
         
      
   Note that this is useful when you're constantly testing software.   
   Especially when you need to start fresh with the latest release.   
   And yet you want to be able to archive the release you tested.
