I’m unable to find Brave browser using the search bar (snap store, Ubuntu Software, and the web page). I’m only able to CLI snap install brave
or if I google the link to the snapcraft.io page
I’m not sure if this happens to any other snap app

No matching snaps for "brave"
But asking for info clearly works:
$ snap info brave

Poking the API directly, I’m getting the same results:

The publishers of this snap have chosen for it to be “unlisted” - meaning it doesn’t show up in search results. It is findable and installable if you know the name to look for, though.
