[Feature] Include the Brave browser and the Google Chrome RPM repositories OOTB in all editions

[amethystgosling163]

Describe the related problem / the feature request

The Brave browser and Google Chrome are very popular packages that are not available as RPMs in the repositories included in Ultramarine OOTB and the only Google Chrome package (Flatpak) available in the Software Center is unverified, so I think it would be a good idea to add the official RPM Google Chrome repository too.

Describe a solution and how it solves the above problem

Steps required to add the official Brave Browser repo:
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core && sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo && sudo rpm --import https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc && sudo dnf install brave-browser

Steps required to add the official Google Chrome repo:
Enable third-party repositories - Fedora wiki page on it has all the steps.

Alternatives you've considered

None

Additional Context

I'm using the GNOME Edition so I saw the absence of these repositories in that edition of Ultramarine.

I think we should include them, but disabled, like Fedora does for Chrome.

We can have them be enabled in new OOBE if the user wants them or in GNOME software/Discover

Why disabled tho?

Why disabled tho?

I had the exact same question and we discussed internally:

• our team member thought we did not had the repo already by default (we do, just not enabled like fedora)
• I personally think it makes more sense to enable them out of the box because if it's not enabled by default then we might as well stop using "it just works" as our slogan

I just became aware that the brave browser RPM repo doesn't have the necessary appstream data to display in GUI Software Centers meaning that the browser from this repo can only be installed thru the terminal OOTB but I still think it is a good idea to include it as this issue might be fixed sooner or later and because AFAIK the Terra repository also doesn't have appstream data for any package yet but is included anyway.

we do include Appstream data in Terra

we do include Appstream data in Terra

Actually, not yet.

I have posted an issue here:

AppStream metadata · Issue #1327 · terrapkg/packages

but we haven't actually added AppStream metadata in Terra yet.
