Brave is my primary web browser but every page I visit isn’t being rendered correctly at all and some pages are completely broken. I have a system backup from a few days ago but I’d prefer not to have to use it if I can. I think Brave is the only thing that was affected but I think I should try to revert the update if it’s possible.

I tried using Synaptic but it’s only listing the current version so I guess I can’t use that.

As for the system backup, it’s a few days old but I don’t think I did anything with it that I couldn’t replace. I just mostly don’t want to because, assuming that Brave is the only thing that broke, Firefox works fine still. If I can’t get Brave or another Chromium browser to work, I can just use Firefox for the time being and hope the issue gets fixed later. Although, I’d need to know how to set up and use multiple Firefox profiles. which I used to know how to do on Windows but I was never able to find out how to do this on Linux.

In the case of Firefox profiles maybe I can actually provide some useful info this time.

“firefox -ProfileManager” brings up the GUI profile manager and “firefox -P [profile name]” boots a particular profile.

Anyway, good luck.

That works, I can’t seem to get it to work quite like how I had it on Windows but manually launching a second instance with the other profile from the first instance is fine. If you must know why I’m doing it like this, I use one profile that doesn’t have any extension installed and another that does.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
