Brave Search Engine:
–
Article: “Why did that app crash?”
–
brave://settings/?search=crash
“Help improve Brave’s features and performance. Automatically sends crash reports to Brave.” (Is that enabled?)
–
Running the Console application (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) for Mac OS.
In this application’s Console window, look at:
System Reports
User Reports
CrashReporter
DiagnosticReports
DiagnosticMessages
Wherever you may find them. For example, drill down into:
/Library/Logs – there you may find a DiagnosticReports

One problem that I find with Brave Browser – within the Console.app (for Mac OS) reporting – is that Brave Browser throws many excess WAKEUPS. Example:
Event: wakeups
Wakeups: 45002 wakeups over the last 180 seconds (250 wakeups per second average), exceeding limit of 150 wakeups per second over 300 seconds
Specifically, the culprit is, the “Brave Browser Helper (Renderer)”:
Path: /Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/Frameworks/Brave Browser Framework.framework/Versions/97.1.34.80/Helpers/Brave Browser Helper (Renderer).app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser Helper (Renderer)

Apple Activity Monitor (my Mac OS: “Sierra”)
