Using the official instructions [here](https://brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-brave.html#linux), installation fails on the curl line…  
curl -s [https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc](https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc) | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -

The response says, “gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.”

OK, guess I’ll just install a different browser. Thanks for all the help.
