After you click the “Send Now” button, return to brave://crashes and gather up the Crash ID numbers. Post the numbers, here, in a new reply.


where do I enter “brave://crashes” to?

@sbeve

Did you gather up the Crash ID numbers that you found at brave://crashes ?

If so, then post those Crash ID numbers, in a new reply, here.

You could have posted the Crash ID numbers, at your previous reply, here.

A recent example by another member of Brave Community:

Brave random crashes while downloading and browsing - #3 by MrCrash

I dont know what address I enter the “brave://crashes” into

@sbeve

From the Brave Support - Brave Help Center instructions (that are linked above):

That says:

“please enter brave://crashes into the address bar”

In a Brave Browser New Window, enter:

  • brave://crashes

into the Brave Browser New Window’s URL address bar (actually, that is a URL address field).



@sbeve

In order to help you get the general idea of that type of URL address (brave://crashes), in another Brave Browser New Window’s URL address field, enter:

  • brave://chrome-urls/#internals

You will see a long list of the brave:// . . . -type URL addresses used by Brave Browser.

Among them, the brave:// . . . -type URL address for bookmarks:

  • brave://bookmarks

For Brave Browser Settings:

  • brave://settings

For details about the Brave Browser installation:

  • brave://version

You are OK. There is much to learn about any Internet browser. Requires study that can be frustrating.

I used the Netscape Internet browser decades ago, when Microsoft Internet Explorer was also young, and I typed up every setting, and then I looked up online, what I could find about that setting . . . and wrote that into my notes.

Something that might be a bit mind-boggling, but can help you - the following is a lot of information that you may refer to in the future:

There, scroll down to:

One of the fundamentals of using technology, is being prepared for something to fail.

Establish and maintain daily routines for data backup.
