Step 1: Install the Brave Plugin

First, you need to install the Brave plugin for Anyquery. Open your terminal and run:

Step 2: Allow Terminal to Control Brave

On the first usage, you'll be prompted to allow your terminal to control Brave Browser. This is required for the plugin to work correctly. Make sure you accept this permission.

DELETE FROM brave_tabs WHERE url = 'https://example.com';

You can run this query using Anyquery as follows:

anyquery -q "DELETE FROM brave_tabs WHERE url = 'https://example.com';"
