See here:

Download indicator moved

the fix for it is disabling these two options: brave://flags/#download-bubble brave://flags/#download-bubble-v2 If it doesn’t load, try going to brave://flags/, then using search bar type “downloads” and disable those two options.

A potential issue is a lengthy download history. If you don’t care about it and want to keep the new “download bubble” that got implemented in a recent update, clear it using this method:

Downloading/clearing download history causes freeze

ah okay I found a solution settings->privacy and security->clear browsing data->on exit->click the download history checkbox->exit browser and it works fine afterward

If you have nothing in your download history but this issue came up, then please let us know. I’m curious about the issue and it’ll help the dev team figure out the cause.

Sadly that was all I had. Hoped that was going to fix your issue. Gonna tap in @Saoiray since I’m not well versed in troubleshooting.

Hello @NickC

if you have extensions could you disable all of them and try again?

could you clear your cache history?

hope that help and have a nice day
