# Brave Origin Windows Unlocker
# Brave Origin Unlocker
A TypeScript utility for unlocking Brave Origin features on Windows by modifying
the local application state.
A TypeScript utility for unlocking Brave Origin features on Windows and macOS by modifying the local application state.
## Overview
This tool modifies the Brave Origin browser's local state configuration to
unlock premium features. It works by updating the `Local State` JSON file used
by Brave to store user preferences and license validation status.
This tool modifies the Brave Origin browser's local state configuration to unlock premium features. It works by updating the `Local State` JSON file used by Brave to store user preferences and license validation status.
## Features
- ✅ Unlocks Brave Origin features
- ✅ Modifies purchase validation state
- ✅ Updates SKU credentials
- ✅ Windows-compatible local data path handling
- ✅ Windows and macOS auto-detection & compatibility
- ✅ Easy execution and cross-compilation via Deno tasks
## Requirements
- **Deno** - Modern JavaScript/TypeScript runtime
- **Windows OS** - Designed for Windows file paths
- **Windows OS or macOS** - Supported operating systems
- **Brave Origin** - The browser being modified
- **File Write Permissions** - Access to `%LOCALAPPDATA%` directory
- **File Write Permissions** - Access to browser configurations
## Installation
1. Install [Deno](https://deno.land/) if you haven't already
1. Install [Deno](https://deno.land/) if you haven't already.
2. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ObjectAscended/brave-origin-windows-unlocker.git
cd brave-origin-windows-unlocker
```
## How to Run 🚀
The script automatically detects whether you are running on Windows or macOS. You can run the unlocker directly with:
```bash
deno task unlock
```
---
## How to Compile / Cross-Compile 📦
You can build standalone binaries for different operating systems and architectures using the pre-configured compilation tasks:
### Compile for Windows (x64)
```bash
deno task compile-win
```
### Compile for macOS Apple Silicon (ARM64)
```bash
deno task compile-mac-arm
```
### Compile for macOS Intel (x64)
```bash
deno task compile-mac-x64
```
These tasks will output the built binaries into the `dist/` directory.

## Why Run the Windows Unlocker Instead of WSL? 🤔
## Why Run the Unlocker Natively? 🤔
Running the Windows unlocker natively is typically a better choice than running
a browser inside WSL. Here's why:
Running the unlocker natively is typically a better choice than running a browser inside virtual/emulated environments. Here's why:
1. **Performance**: The native Windows experience generally offers better
performance than emulated environments like WSL. ⚡
2. **Simplicity**: You avoid complex setups and configurations, making it more
straightforward for users of all levels. 🛠️
3. **Compatibility**: Some features and functionalities might only work
seamlessly in a Windows environment, ensuring you get the most out of your
tools. 🔗
4. **User Experience**: Enjoy a more intuitive interface and fewer problems
managing dependencies. 😊
