Since the last update, the Brave browser is constantly crashing, stating error reason as “out of memory”
Brave version is v.1.74.51; Windows - 10 pro, 64 bit, 16GB RAM - of which only about 4 to 5 GB’s are used, no background processes, no extensions whatsoever,(cache is cleared, graphics acceleration is off) no nothing, yet when I open several tabs regardless if in private window or not, the browser crashes
I’ve submitted your crash report to our devs for review. Hope to have more information for you soon. In the meantime, can you share a screenshot of the “Out of memory” error you’re seeing as it appears on your end?
Yesterday I saw a different error but wasn’t able to take a screenshot as the browser stopped responding. I’ve tried to copy/paste the message but that didn’t work as well
I’ve just installed an optional Windows update and gave it a go.
Opened 25 tabs in total and the browser hasn’t crashed yet, although it still is a bit slugish and the high CPU usage persists in Windows task manager, especially when a video is playing on youtube(when watching a 4k video, the lag is unbearable)
Definitely still a problem, even though the browser no longer crashes. Not quite sure what to make out of it
Yep. Did so earlier yesterday and things seem to be going smoothly now. 4k videos run normally. The browser hasn’t crashed as of yet and CPU usage is not as high as it used to be. I temporarily tried different chromium based browsers and all of them were crashing in one way or another. I’ve no idea what was causing said crashes.
