Disable Brave Browser Auto Update on a Mac

Provided your Brave browser version is the same as mine at the time of writing (83.1.10.93) - if not, substitute the numbers - quit the browser and do the following:

  1. Launch the Terminal

  2. Type this as one line:
    cd /Applications/Brave\ Browser.app/Contents/Frameworks/Brave\ Browser\ Framework.framework/Versions/83.1.10.93/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

  3. Then this:
    mv Autoupdate.app/ Autoupdate.app.OLD

  4. Open Brave, go to the three-stripe "burger" menu and select About Brave, you should be able to see the following message: Update failed (error: 11) Error details: An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later.

  5. Quit the terminal, you're done

The last three directories are /Versions/A/Resources/

I don't know why, but DEV cuts it off.
