Description of the issue:
When I start brave on my Android 12 phone, the browser crashes instantly.
The only thing I can see is that the page trying to load is chrome-native://pdf/link?url=conten[…]

How can this issue be reproduced?

I don’t really know, maybe try to open a pdf in a brave tab ?

Expected result:

The browser should not crash

Brave Version( check About Brave):

1.79.123

Mobile Device details

Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC 2020, Android 12

Additional Information:

I tried to explore my phone storage to get logs but I couldn’t find the correct place. If you need me to send some files, I would be happy to help !

Also, is there a way to get the list of my currently opened tabs even if I can’t access the app ?

Thanks !

If you long-press on the browser icon and select New Private tab does the browser still freeze when opened?

I should have thought of it, it was that simple :joy:
It seems that clicking on “New tab” from the home screen removed the pdf tab, and everything loaded successfully.
Thanks for the help!
