Description of the issue:
In the last day or so Brave has crashed many times with only a few tabs open at the time.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Update: it appears clicking on Brave Shields and Brave Rewards is causing crashes. Not sure if there are other causes as well.
No obvious pattern to the crashes. I don’t know how to isolate what the problem is or how to fix it (if it is an extension, etc.) No new extension installed lately but I did turn on the new extensions toolbar recently.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!): Log file
Expected result:
No crashing.
Reproduces how often:
100%
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Version 0.68.131 Chromium: 76.0.3809.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
macOS 10.14.6 (18G95)
@mbierman,
Can you check brave://flags and see if for any reason you have the flag #extension-menu-toolbar enabled? If so, disable it and relaunch the browser when prompted.
It did not occur to me that this was related however, because at first I didn’t realize the crash related to clicking on the Brave Rewards or Brave Shields and to be honest I wouldn’t have guested that turning on the Toolbar Extensions menu would be tied into that. But hey, that’s the nature of bugs, I guess.
