Kali Linux Install Brave browser
From WikiMLT
Installation
Kali Linux is a Debian based distribution, so we can install the Brave browser in the same way as it is described in the Brave's official documentation. In the following steps we will add the release channel repository of Brave and then install it,
sudo apt update && sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg \
https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install brave-browser
Settings

Fix the "Show in folder" option
Out of the box the option "Show in folder" – position A at Screen 1 – doesn't open the target directory which is set as default File explorer. This issue is also valid for the other Chromium and Firefox based browsers.
Screen 1. Brave browser – the option "Show in folder". 
The only working solution I've found is that shown below. This solution solves the issue also for the other browsers.
sudo nano /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
