Brave auto updated now getting STATUS_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION


Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Trying to load google.com, yahoo.com I get an Ah snap error stating STATUS_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION
  2. Load browser and go to above URLs

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.27.109
Additional Information:
Windows 10, no browser extensions. The “About Brave” button (link) in browser results in the aw snap message as well. Oddly enough hotmail.com works. This started the day the browser updated to this version.

What additional steps have you taken?

  • Open page in a New Private Window ?
  • Restart Brave?
  • Restart your computer?

Maybe right-click on the little Padlock icon, and look over your settings for the webpage.


Might be helpful info - in terms of what you see when you right-click on the Padlock icon:


And try: Clear DNS cache on your computer:

Click on “Clear host cache”

Clear browser cache on your computer:

Set Time range to “All time”

ENABLE all three:

  • Browsing history

  • Cached images and files

Click on the “Clear data” button

Then restart your computer.
