Brave on Linux with HackerBlue loaded: a navy tab strip with one active tab and one inactive tab, a slightly lighter toolbar with a rounded address bar, above an ordinary light web page.

How to install

Three steps in your device's terminal. Every command is exactly what you type; copy it, paste it, press Enter.

  1. Put the HackerBlue program on your device

    Linux or macOS: Terminal
    curl -fsSL https://hackerblue.dev/install.sh | sh
    Windows: PowerShell
    irm https://hackerblue.dev/install.ps1 | iex

  2. Sign in

    Terminal
    hackerblue login

    A page opens in your browser; sign in to your Hacker Blue account and choose Approve.

  3. Install the Brave theme

    Terminal
    hackerblue install brave-browser

    In Brave, open brave://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top right), click Load unpacked and choose the folder the command printed. Brave keeps it across restarts.

To update later, run hackerblue update brave-browser and then click the reload button on the Hacker Blue card in brave://extensions. To go back to Brave's own look, remove Hacker Blue there.

Updates come with your licence: hackerblue update brave-browser when a newer version is out. hackerblue uninstall brave-browser removes its theme files. Finish removal in your browser and choose your previous theme. Every command, and the rest of the guide: the install guide.

Brave, default and in HackerBlue

The same view twice. The switch changes only the theme.

Brave with its default look: a light grey tab strip and a white toolbar above an example page. Brave with HackerBlue: the same page under a deep navy tab strip and toolbar, with an indigo address bar outline.

Brave running on Linux, the same page in its stock default look and in HackerBlue. Captured from the running app in a throwaway profile.

Brave belongs to its owner; Hacker Blue is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.

The theme

HackerBlue for Brave colors the browser itself: the window frame and tab strip, the active tab, the toolbar and its icons, the bookmarks bar, the address bar and the new tab page. It sets colors only, so your pages, extensions, fonts and settings are never touched, and web pages keep drawing themselves.

Chrome, Brave and Chromium all load the identical theme format, so this is the same theme as HackerBlue for Chrome: not a separate design, not a fork, the same file. It is added the way Brave loads a theme of your own: as an unpacked theme you load once from a folder. You do that once; Brave remembers the folder from then on. It was checked against Brave 1.96 on Linux.
