How to get rid of brave-browser for good
by Janus84 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57XP8)
I've been using Brave for a while & then replaced it with Chromium.
One day I've decided to remove Brave completely; purged, removed BraveSoftware from .config and .cache
however
Code:$ sudo apt-get update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease
Err:2 https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A8580BDC82D3DC6C
Reading package lists... Done
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A8580BDC82D3DC6C

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.Can someone please let me know how to remove Brave completely so that it doesn't try to update anymore.
