Brave Crashing on IPad

Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.


Description of the issue:
I use Brave Browser on my iPad. Routinely, Brave crashes on any page that has too many images/links/videos.

One website it crashes on is dailymail.co.uk - I cannot view this website at all in Brave as it will crash Brave almost immediately and continue to crash Brave as I try to view the site.

Another page I note a major issue with is on a website called Twitchy. They have a Monday Meme article with a lot of memes linked in the article. I’ve attempted to reach this article 20 times this morning and cannot get through it - the browser crashes routinely as I am attempting to browse the page.

I really would prefer to use Brave for my private browsing, but the browser cannot seem to handle any website with more than a couple of images/links embedded on it.
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. On iPad OS 17.6.1, Brave 1.69.2 (172), navigate to dailymail.co.uk or to twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2024/10/21/monday-morning-meme-madness-n2402137
  2. Scroll down the page for a minute or two until Brave crashes
  3. Restart Brave and try again.

Expected result:
Brave will crash. I’ve experienced this on the twitchy site multiple times this morning. It literally crashed three times while I was trying to get the URL for the twitchy site.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Additional Information:

Thanks for reporting, will try to reproduce.

@hfortune02 can you update to 1.70 and let me know if the issue persists?

Good morning,

Thank you for your assistance!

I did upgrade to 1.70 and things seemed to be going better than before. However, today was my first chance to test on a “Monday Meme” article and I’ve crashed probably 12 times this morning trying to read not just that article (I finally gave up) but any other website as well.

I am noting that the pages that crash have a lot of items embedded in them, if that is helpful in any way.

Noting the crashes on Twitchy.com and TownHall.com, plus DailyMail.co.uk

I appreciate your continued assistance.
