Description of the issue:

Crashes immediately on open on my Mac. Have attempted to reinstall, have restarted, nothing works.

Additional Information:

Brave won’t open on my Mac now, after about a year of using it. I just want to get my bookmarks out but I can’t export them because the browser crashes as soon as I open it. What can I do?

Hi @pempem, Welcome to Community!
What version of Brave are you using and what version of macOS are you on?

Also, can you try following these steps to get Brave to work:

  1. Quit Brave
  2. Open Terminal
  3. Enter the command: open -a "Brave Browser.app" --disable-gpu

If that doesn’t help or if you know you have sync on, you can also try this command:
open -a "Brave Browser.app" --disable-sync
