Be Prepared
Sometimes, the following two steps, are sufficient to get Brave Browser running properly.
With BB not running, delete the ‘Caches’ folder, and delete the ‘Cookies’ file.
Caches (folder):
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Cache\Cookies (file):
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\CookiesClear cookies, cache, history, etc.
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:
brave://settings/clearBrowserData
Select the Advanced tab
Set Time range to “All time”
ENABLE everything except:
(Myself, I would NOT make that exception)
(because I would have a backup prepared.)
(In other words, be prepared.)
Click on the “Clear data” button
Change the path within the Brave Browser shortcut on your computer’s Desktop, to include switches that are intended to:
brave://flagsThe Brave Browser executable, brave.exe, is located in one of:
64 architecture
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"x86 architecture
"C:\Program Files(x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe""Changed Paths:
64 architecture (change the path to):
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
x86 architecture (note the switches to add):
"C:\Program Files(x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
Notice that the existing path, BEFORE the additions, is enclosed by double-quote marks. And, everything added to the existing path, is located after the existing path.
Next, with Brave Browser running, test your issue.
When you think appropriate, restore the Brave Browser shortcut . . .

Opening the Developer Tools window
On the first occasion of using Developer Tools, the Developer Tools “window” is usually a part of (contained within) its associated Brave Browser window . . . but you can make the Developer Tools window, a standalone window (though keeping its association with the Brave Browser window). I recommend that you do so:
In the upper right-hand corner of the Developer Tools window, there is an “Organizer” 3-vertical-dots button - click on that. The result should be a pop-up:
Notice the tiny blue icon that is first (left to right) among 4. Click on that icon. The Developer Tools window will become a standalone window.
How to use Developer Tools:
Developer Tools > Network:
By monitoring the Developer Tools window > Network tab, you can observe the “behind the scenes” networking activity between the Internet browser and the website.
