Brave keeps closing on Mac

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Hello!
In my 2019 Mac Pro Brave just keeps closing all the time, I open it, start browsing and it closes itself, or when I open it, click on the menu bar at the top right, then hover the cursor in a menu item, it instantly closes.

I’m using the latest brave versions.
I have tried the Brave beta, and Brave nightly, exactly the same issues.
I’ve found a post here to start it with/without hardware accelaration and it should fix this issue, well, didn’t fix it for me.

I’m kinda hopeless but I love Brave, can you help me with this?

Hi @antalmate12, Welcome to Community!
So to confirm from the beginning Brave was crashing?
Does Brave not crash if you don’t hover it over a menu item?

Hi.
Yes, from the very beginning, but only in my Mac, not ion my PC.
And it crashes too after I start browsing too, or just wait a few seconds in the start up screen.

Can you try going to ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default, emptying the Default folder and restarting Brave.

Maybe you’re using the old Sync?
Try re-enabling it with a new Sync Chain.

Tried both, neither did fix my problem, it’s still the same

@antalmate12,
Do you have the accessibility keyboard enabled?

I’m also having problems getting the Brave Browser to start, specifically on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model running 10.13.6). I have no problems with the Release version, however I would like to get either the Beta or Nightly version working so I can implement v2 sync across all my devices. (The Mac is my problem child.)

Both the Beta and Nightly versions crash before the browser window appears. I removed everything in the Library section relating to Brave Browser prior to re-running and/or re-installing it - all without any joy.

I can provide a crash report for you if that will help. Assistance would be greatly beneficial.

Yes I had it enabled. Disabled it and my problem just got solved. Thank you!
