I get these crashes 0-2 times a day. Not quite sure what’s going on. The CPU usage goes to 100% for about a minute, during which time the system is unresponsive. It doesn’t appear to be linked to any activity in Brave either - it will still happen if Brave is in the background while I am working in another application.
How can this issue be reproduced?
I’ve tried and can’t reproduce it. Sometimes it happens after the browser has been open for days, sometimes only minutes after I reopen it after the previous crash. Web pages visited, extensions etc don’t seem to make a difference.
Expected result:
Working browser?
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.52.130 Chromium: 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit)
What type of crash is occurring? Does the browser crash? Does the computer crash and restart? Does Xorg crash and kick you to the login window? The last one is the issue I’m having. Just trying to see if this is happening to anyone else. I can recreate it by opening and closing brave several times (Xorg can crash on either), switching tabs happened once, and it has happened several times while the computer was not in active use.
Edit: I’m on Mint 21.1 Cinnamon 5.6.8
Edit 2: I also got it to happen when editing steam. I’m now guessing that it has something to do with chromium and/or is a hardware issue.
disable all extension then use the browser as you do for while maybe for a whole day if it work fine then renable the extension one by one till you get the one that causeing the issue
could you try to use the private mode and see if it work fine or not if it work fine then maybe some issue with your browser cache so try to clear it as far as you could
could you create new profile and without adding any extension and see if it work fine or not
