In the past Plucky fully supported Brave, but in July 2026 the Brave team broke support for MV2 extensions – including Plucky.

Plucky users that strongly desire to keep using Brave can do so if they install Brave v191 and never upgrade it. 191 was the last version of Brave to support Plucky and MV2 extensions in general.

How to install legacy Brave

  1. Make sure you are importing block-chrome-brave-and-vivaldi-updates so Brave never updates on its own and breaks.

  2. Download Brave 191. You can get it at https://r.pluckeye.net/brave. If you need to download it for another platform, you can use the links below.

  3. Uninstall your current version of Brave.

  4. Install Brave 191 and resume Plucking like a happy soul.

For Linux Users

Uninstall Brave from your system and re-install it as a local package file.

sudo pacman -U /path/to/package   # Arch
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package     # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install /path/to/package # Fedora

Simply drag and drop the .deb / .zst / .rpm file in your Downloads directory onto the terminal window to autofill in the path.

Don’t forget to remove the user data directory to avoid conflicts.

Troubleshooting

If Plucky icon isn’t visible after installing Brave 191

  • Make sure it’s not simply hidden by visiting brave://extensions
  • If you have feature:nobrave configured, remove it
  • If you don’t have feature:okbrave configured, add it
  • Temporarily add allow port 443 to your config, run the Plucky installer on top of your existing installation, and relaunch Brave.

Install a supported browser

Don’t rely on a legacy browser as your only way to access the web. Install a properly supported browser as well in case things go awry.

Questions from users

  1. How can I avoid the notification on every browser start?

    If you click on the URL in the notification (that goes to this very page!), it should not appear again.

  2. If Plucky is removed from Brave, does that mean that Brave will suddenly be unfiltered?

    No. If the system feature is enabled, Brave 192+ will be blocked when Plucky is removed.
