Description of the Issue:
Whenever I open Brave’s settings, Brave crashes around 5 seconds later. If I try changing any of the settings, Brave instantly crashes. It makes it impossible for me to change or even view my settings.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Brave 2. Navigate to brave://settings
Actual Result:
My Brave window crashes
Expected Result:
Brave should allow me to change/look at my settings
Reproduces How Often:
Always
Brave Version:
Version 1.40.113 Chromium: 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Reproducible on Current Live Release:
Yes
Additional Information:
I’m using macOS Monterey v 12.4
I just downloaded the new version, it works slightly better but still sucks. Now nothing crashes when settings is opened, but Brave crashes whenever I change the settings.
Edit: Just retried it, it only crashes when I try syncing another device.
Edit 2: Only mobile devices. It works fine if I try syncing another computer.
Thanks @BaconSpartan, can you please go to brave://crashes and
if you have automatic crash reporting is enabled (Settings --> Privacy/Security --> Automatically send diagnostic reports), please respond back here with the crash report ID
If Automatically send diagnostic reports is not enabled, ensure you click Send on these crash reports listed on the page, then reply here with the crash report ID
Is a Crash Report ID the same thing as Local Crash Context? If so, the local crash context has changed every time Brave crashed. Here are the 4 times it happened today, from most recent to least recent:
Hi @BaconSpartan, yesterday we released v1.40.100 which helped to fix several reported crashes. Can you update to it and let me know if this is continuing?
@spartan21@BaconSpartan,
Can you try creating a new profile in the browser and test to see if the browser crashes the same way when using the new profile and navigating to or changing any settings? Ensure that you only have one window open (the one with the new profile) when performing this test.
UPdated Brave this morning and now it quits each time i open it. Mac OS 10.15.7. Also started doing this on and off a few months ago and just got worse. Now its kinda useless to me
Hi @Mcretten sorry to hear that you’ve been having issues with the browser.
Just to confirm, did you try the troubleshoot solution I shared above?
There is another workaround with resetting your brave://flags if you are unable to launch Brave. See instructions below.
Do let me know if this works out for you.
