Locate the DiagnosticReports folder, here:

/Users/username/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

Open that folder and look for crash reports that begin with “Brave Browser_” (if any).

Select the latest (Date Modified) “Brave Browser_ . . .” report, and drag-copy that file to your Mac Desktop.

Select the next-to-the-latest (Date Modified) “Brave Browser_ . . .” report, and drag-copy that file to your Mac Desktop.
