Additional information:
I’m using Debian GNU/Linux 12 (Bookworm)
or by uname -a:

and GNOME Shell
It also happened while trying to write this on the same browser so I had to switch temporarily.
Are these only generated per session? Cause today I launched brave as I usually do after a couple of days and it worked seemingly just fine: I could use the onmnibar to input this and it didn’t freeze, though I got nothing in the results.
Is there any other place I could search for logs that would help Brave Support? I am pretty sure it’s going to happen again
I’d also like to suggest you also kind of check out the basic Troubleshooting Steps. Things like checking in private window would help narrow down where your issue might be occurring.
Thank you. I already did what’s suggested for a crash report.
As of today, I hasn’t happened for several days but it’s a weirdly specific problem so I will try the troubleshooting steps next time it occurs. For now, I will keep using Brave as usual.
