macOS Monterey version 12.0.1 MacBook Air, apple M1 2020 chip compatible with Brave?

[clementine]

I downloaded the Brave browser install package on my new macOS Monterey version 12.0.1 MacBook Air, apple M1 2020 chip. All well with the install, until I actually tried to open Brave. I get a window with message that says Brave Browser quit unexpectedIy and 3 choices to either Reopen, Report or Ignore. None of them work. Is my new computer incompatible with Brave? I sure hope not. I use it on my MacBook Pro and it works great! What to do?

I have the exact same problem.

I have the same problem, I have an Apple MacBook Air M1, and the M1 version refuses to start, even the beta version crashes and doesn’t start. I’m using intel version instead.

Might work:

Brave crashes upon launch on brand new M1 iMac 12.1

On my side I did only this steps: delete the Users/[your user name]/Library/Application support/BraveSoftware folder relaunch Brave and it worked. I didn’t uninstall Brave, nor downloaded it from Github. The BraveSoftware folder is recreated when Brave is started, but does not prevent Brave to start anymore. (You may need to enable the display of the Library folder in Finder layout menu.)
