  1. Open Brave
  2. Click on the red cross (left top) to close a window

Type brave://flags/#global-media-controls-cast-start-stop in the address bar and make sure flag’s value is set to Default.

Found the same crash ID’s in the Github report below.

P.S Do you happen to use Yabai? Provided crash ID’s appear in a report related to Yabai as well.

FYI, the setting was already set to Default.
The issue persists.

Do you happen to use Yabai ?

I don’t know what Yabai is, so I doubt it. :slight_smile:

Could you check whether the issue will appear in a fresh user profile?

7

The issue does not appear with a fresh user profile.
How could I determine the cause with my existing profile?

If you happen to use any extensions, disable them and slowly enable them one by one until you find the one causing those crashes.

I found the extension that caused the crash. Thank you. The problem is now solved.
