Milestone
As a follow-up to #1084, we should clean up existing installations that have had the Google repo added automatically by the cronjob.
Files to delete (if they exist):
/etc/default/brave-browser
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser.list
or/etc/yum.repos.d/brave-browser.repo
And then there's the Google repository signing key. For that, we need to first check whether or not chrome is installed on the machine. To do this, we could look for one of these files:
/etc/cron.daily/google-chrome
/etc/default/google-chrome
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
or/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo
or their equivalents for beta:
/etc/cron.daily/google-chrome-beta
/etc/default/google-chrome-beta
/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome-beta.repo
or dev:
/etc/cron.daily/google-chrome-unstable
/etc/default/google-chrome-unstable
/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome-unstable.repo
-If there are no traces of Chrome, then we can remove the Google package signing key:
