Making it easy to find the stable version of Brave on Github

I was following the topic about removing Brave, their Github is really confusing, but using the api I got a simple way to get the result stating the latest stable version:

Just Download link:

curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/brave/brave-browser/releases?page=1&per_page=100" | jq -r '.[] | select( .prerelease == false and .draft == false ) | select(all( .name; contains("Nightly") | not ))  | select(all( .name; contains("Beta") | not )) | select(all( .body; contains("unstable") | not )) | {Download: .tarball_url}' | jq --slurp '.[0]'

Or with more information:

curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/brave/brave-browser/releases?page=1&per_page=100" | jq -r '.[] | select( .prerelease == false and .draft == false ) | select(all( .name; contains("Nightly") | not ))  | select(all( .name; contains("Beta") | not )) | select(all( .body; contains("unstable") | not )) | {name: .name, url: .url, tarball_url: .tarball_url, published_at: .published_at}' | jq --slurp '.[0]'

The original post was locked while I was looking for a solution to this issue:
Has the Brave browser been removed from Manjaro repositories? - #4 by Bruno_Goncalves

I don’t know if this can help keep Brave in the Manjaro repository, unfortunately Chromium has gone through resource cuts and is now not that interesting to use, so it’s left Brave as an Open Source browser that has the necessary resources.

I understand that Vivaldi is a good browser, but unfortunately it has some closed source parts, so I think it can be useful for both me and many users to maintain Brave in the repository.
