Brave Browser is showing the Update icon in its upper left corner, yet when I click on it, it tells me I can’t update Brave, I have to Reinstall Brave (from the website). Is that what I have to do, or is there a more openSUSE way of doing it?
How did you install Brave? Do you have a Brave repo? If yes, simply update via zypper or Myrlyn. If there is no dedicated repository, you may need to ask at the dedicated Brave support channels.
With a repo you can simply
sudo zypper up
or if you only want to update Brave
sudo zypper up brave-browser

I don’t remember how I installed it. It shows in Myrlyn, but Myrlyn is not giving me an option for updating.
When I try updating via
sudo zypper up brave-browser
I get
error: %preun(glibc-gconv-modules-extra-32bit-2.40-160000.5.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 126
Additionally, you can easily check if you have the brave repo by executing
zypper lr -d
@tharpa …
Brave is our primary browser.
Adding and installing / updating is easy as any other software 
sudo zypper addrepo https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo
sudo zypper install brave-browser
.
… to take this one step further - if you prefer one of the other releases, here they are (or maybe you want to try them all)
for standard edition
sudo zypper addrepo https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo
sudo zypper install brave-browser
for beta edition
sudo zypper addrepo https://brave-browser-rpm-beta.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-beta.repo
sudo zypper install brave-browser-beta
for nightly edition
sudo zypper addrepo https://brave-browser-rpm-nightly.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-nightly.repo
sudo zypper install brave-browser-nightly
The How-To are easily found at the Brave website:
