Identical to the post linked above, so I’m copying the relevant excerpt:

When interacting with a text selection context menu, right-clicking the top-level entry named “Leo AI Tools” causes the browser to crash.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any web page.
  2. Highlight any text on the page.
  3. Right-click on the selected text.
  4. A context menu will appear with multiple options, including a submenu named “Leo AI Tools.”
  5. Hover the mouse cursor over this entry in the main context menu (not the submenu that opens).
  6. Right-click again.
  7. The browser crashes.

Expected Result

Right-clicking this item should not trigger any action.

Hello,

You are encountering a known issue with the Brave browser when interacting with the “Leo AI Tools” context menu.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open any web page.

Highlight any text on the page.

Right-click on the selected text.

A context menu will appear with multiple options, including a submenu named “Leo AI Tools.”

Hover the mouse cursor over this entry in the main context menu (not the submenu that opens).

Right-click again.

This issue has been reported by other users as well. The Brave development team is likely aware of the problem and may be working on a fix. In the meantime, you might want to avoid right-clicking on the “Leo AI Tools” entry to prevent the browser from crashing.
