Good night, this message is to inform this problem I’m having with the current version of Brave Browser.
Description of the issue: After some time surfing the Internet with Brave, the program crashes and automatically sends me with the “Force Stop/Wait” prompt. After the second time, the OS bricks and I have to hard reset it. How can this issue be reproduced? Using the Program Expected result: Crashes after some time, bricks the OS.
Brave Version( check About Brave): Versión 1.32.113 Chromium: 96.0.4664.45
not sure the following would help but you can try it if you like
try to use brave in private mode and see if it work fine there or not
if it work fine then try to disable all extension and see if it work if yes then the issue with one of your extnesion try to enable them one by one till you get the cause of the issue
if the extension is not the cause then try to clear the cache / history the longer would be better
if those does not help then try to create new profile and use it and see if it work fine on that new one
Hey, this is also happening to me on Fedora. Using the official Brave repos with no extensions installed.
OP, are you on Wayland by chance? Idr if POP_OS uses wayland by default.
Brave was working fine until the 1.32 update.
1.32 launches, however it immediately locks up, nothing is clickable except the settings menu which opens to a blank gray panel.
I checked out what was the problem. It was the Pop!_OS kernel. Due to some stuff, the kernel has problems. I only changed to the previous kernel and problem solved.
Hello @josuevargas do you recall which kernel version was problematic?
Was it of 5.15.x?
@justsomeone1 The above suggestions did not work for me.
I also tried the other suggestions I saw on the forums such as erasing the cffkpbalmllkdoenhmdmpbkajipdjfam directory with no luck.
I was not able to create a new profile because the browser crashed immediately.
I was able to resolve this by running brave-browser --args --disable-gpu
Then opening brave:flags and resetting all of my overrides.
Once relaunched, I was able to slowly tick on more gpu flags at least granting me back hardware accelerated 2d canvas.
start brave with this argument --user-data-dir
for some details about it check this one
it will start brave as if it new profile then from there you could create new profile then close brave and start it normally
(do not delete the old one or you would loose any data there)
