Constant crashing and receiving STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Description of the issue:
Across various different websites and at different times of day I am receiving constant crashing of web pages and receiving the ‘STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION’ error message. I have removed any recent Extensions that were installed so that the only ones in use are ones that I have had for several years without issues, but it persists.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open a web page or just be on a web page. It doesn’t always happen on launch. Sometimes the page can be open for 5, 10 minutes and then it crashes.

Expected result:

  1. Web pages to not crash.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.74.50 Chromium: 132.0.6834.111 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Bumping this - can a staff/support member help?

I had the same problems several times today. Especially with WhatsApp Web and YouTube (when the tab became inactive).

Forwarding these crash reports to the team for review. In the meantime, I would be interested to see if you get the same results if you try visiting sites in a fresh profile (Menu --> More tools --> Add profile) without any browsing data/extensions enabled.

Thanks - will the team reply to me directly or how will I be notified?

Yes, I did try that :slight_smile: same issue
