Where to find the location of brave-browser

i installed the brave-broswer using yay , but i don't know where to find the location of the browser and it's extensions, I have looked up in /usr/bin , used which brave/brave-bin/brave-browser-bin i don't get a response that it's not in the PATH. whereis brave outputs "brave: " , i don't know what's that supposed to mean. i am working on a script to list out the extensions in brave browser using a python script

Re: Where to find the location of brave-browser

The roundabout way:

$ ls -la /usr/share/applications/*brave*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8,5K 23.07.2023 17:28 /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop
$ grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop
TryExec=brave
Exec=brave %U
Exec=brave
Exec=brave --incognito
$ which brave
/usr/bin/brave
$

So you should have got a hit on which brave?
Did you install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brave-bin?
