Stay on Monterey rebuilds Brave and Electron for Intel Macs that cannot move beyond macOS 12, including systems without Metal graphics support.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-23 issue.

For: Owners of Intel Macs limited to Monterey
Worth noticing: On Macs without Metal, the builds use ANGLE OpenGL 3.3; the page says this enables GPU compositing and WebGL 1 on a GeForce 320M.

On Macs without Metal, the builds are configured to use ANGLE OpenGL 3.3, while the Brave package uses ANGLE Metal when available. The site says releases run daily on a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 and MacBook Pro 7,1, with hardware details and release notes linked.
