@charcot_bouchard ,

Study:

“Brave Crashes every time I open it - #14 by 289wk”

In the command, use three flags:

--incognito
--disable-extensions
--disable-gpu

If Brave Browser starts AND continues to run, then disable Hardware Acceleration in the Settings.

Then, Exit/Quit Brave Browser . . . wait . . . and try a normal start.
