**Description of the issue: **
Brave crashes unexpectedly and randomly when loading an extra site in a new tab or window
How can this issue be reproduced?
Load many sites and at some unpredictable level, it crashes

  1. I have many tabs open in Brave (about 250; please don’t ask me why). At some point, if I click on a link (either in a Brave window or outside of Brave), instead of opening it, I get the beachball and after a long while, Brave crashes. It seems a random problem.
  2. When I restart Brave, I reload all previously open windows and tabs and it usually works for a while. Then the same thing happens.
  3. I would say this happens about 5 to 10 times a day.

Expected result:

I’m tempted to believe that this is simply the result of having too many tabs open at once (and subsequently too many processes running). If I understand correctly, you’re saying that a new tab opened to any site has the potential to trigger this?

Do you have any extensions installed in the browser at this time?
