How to preset settings using an override like user.js or policies? (feddit.de)

I think for any Linux Distro or OEM to preinstall Brave, it needs to become more modular.

Is there a way to preset some specific settings like homepage, search Engine, some privacy settings etc

I think Brave is pretty solid, but also really bloated out of the box.

I am using the RPM on Fedora.

Solutions found

~/.config/brave-flags.conf (derived from ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf) should work as a user.js
/etc/brave/policies/managed/ (derived from /etc/chromium/policies/managed/) should allow to place policies which cant be overwritten by non-wheel users.

These are the solutions!

I thing Brave don't want this because the community Project Braver wanted also do get rid of the not needed shit and make it more modular but Brave shutdown this Project.
