If you use Brave on your desktop, there’s a new update rolling out as v1.92.138 that fixes a few things you might have bumped into. It’s not one of those releases with a long list of new features. Instead, this one is mostly about cleaning up a couple of bugs.
The biggest fix is related to downloads. Before this update, Brave could forget the last folder you used when saving a file. So if you always download documents to your Desktop or another custom folder, you had to keep picking it over and over again.
That’s now been fixed, so the browser should remember your last download location again.
Brave has also squashed a bug in Brave Wallet that could leave some transactions stuck in a pending state. Not everyone uses the built-in wallet, so this won’t matter to every Brave user, but it’s still a nice fix to have if you rely on it.
Under the hood, Brave is now based on Chromium 150.0.7871.101. That mostly means you’re getting the latest security patches and bug fixes that have already landed upstream in Chromium. You probably won’t notice anything different after installing the update, and that’s kind of the point.
I always like these smaller updates because they’re the ones that quietly remove little annoyances. You don’t get a shiny new button or feature to try out, but you also stop running into that one bug that made you sigh every few days.
It’s also interesting to see these maintenance releases arrive while Brave continues working on bigger additions. Just yesterday, we covered the company’s first native Workspaces prototype, which has started showing up in Nightly builds. It’s still rough around the edges, but it finally gives us a glimpse of how Brave plans to let users organize tabs into separate workspaces instead of juggling dozens of browser windows.
Brave has been making headlines outside of product updates too. Earlier this week, we also reported on comments from a Brave Product Manager who criticized Vivaldi’s approach to privacy, kicking off another round of discussion among browser fans.
The company has every reason to keep polishing the browser. Earlier this month, Brave revealed that it had crossed 120.9 million monthly active users, another milestone for a browser that’s been steadily growing over the past few years. As the user base gets bigger, these smaller bug-fixing releases become just as important as the flashy feature updates.
There’s nothing particularly exciting in version 1.92.138, but if Brave has been forgetting where you wanted your downloads to go, this update should finally put that annoyance to rest.
