Sonoma 14.6.1. I had a problem with Brave on my Mac. It hung, I closed it and opened it again. On my Home Screen I had 3 copies of Brave as a file system. I moved them one at a time to trash. I tried again to open Brave by clicking on my task bar and got the message to send a dump. I pushed the wrong button and lost the opportunity. I again tried to open Brave by clicking on my task bar and the icon started jumping. I clicked again and nothing happened. I restarted Mac, now the Icon has been replaced with a question mark. There is no icon on Launchpad. I’m writing this on Safari. I have Nordpass installed but can’t find any reference to Brave hanging related to Nordpass.
@dannomcg,
It sounds like you’ve deleted the app from the system, which would explain why the icon shows a ? in the dock.
Can you try simply re-downloading and installing the browser from our website?
Thanks for the reply. This is all informational at this point. I was successfully able to download and install again. I agree, I may have deleted the app in my troubleshooting.
I regret not getting the dump at the time of the hang. I had been having some performance issues. I was using the performance monitor and seeing some high CPU at times on the graph but I was not able to identify the culprit. Eventually it was taking a long time to load pages, not able to discern problems at the host or the browser but several pages were slow. It got to the point where I restarted the browser with no success. Eventual it become unresponsive.
If this is TMI I apologize. I was an infrastructure guy running Redhat servers and was relentless in troubleshooting. A problem disappearing with a reboot was excruciating.
