Well that’s good I guess. I did an install of Nobara OS on a spare laptop I use in my workshop, as I wanted to try it and I figured I could just uninstall Brave. However, that seems to have been wishful thinking. I could not figure out a way to purge it. Maybe I’m not linux savvy enough yet, or just an idiot, but I could find no clear way to uninstall it in Nobara. Though, I also did not dedicate much time to searching for a solution. I just removed it from the app menu and called it good enough, as I only use the system occasionally.
What’s weird is I did the in place upgrade from 17 - 18 and expected Brave to be added, but it wasn’t.

Here’s what I found for Fedora (Nobara is derived from it) - copy paste these one by one into the terminal
sudo dnf remove brave-browser brave-keyring
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/brave-browser-*.repo
sudo rpm -e gpg-pubkey-c2d4e821-5e7252b8
rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware/
The last one removes any config files that may remain.
