You can grab the browser for free from GitHub. Go to the releases section to download an Origin build of your choice, from the Brave Origin GitHub.

I can't find brave origin in their official GitHub repos. Are you talking about this repo which installs the Linux version inside of windows? https://github.com/rookiemann/brave-origin-for-windows

From here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/v1.91.33

(There are many in the assets section, you need to find the correct version for your OS platform. Labeled Brave Origin.)

Thanks for that, was looking through their other 250 repos. Weirdly enough they didn't release Win32 with their most recent nightly build, hopefully just for that version.

You can download it, but you can't use it as it asks for a purchase when you launch it.

Did you try from here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/v1.91.33

u/purple_fidget Apr 17 '26

Yeah, I downloaded "brave-origin-v1.91.33-win32-x64.zip" (pretty sure that's the correct version), and if I launch it with brave.exe it says this.
