**Description of the issue: I am using a MacBook Air, 13-inch, M3, 2024. Brave browser works perfectly, EXCEPT when I am done using it, and I try to close it. I click on ‘Brave’ in the top menu on my Mac, choose ‘Quit Brave’, but the Browser does not quit. The Browser window DOES successfully close, but it does not completely quit. Therefore, if I attempt to shut down the Mac, it is not able to as Brave Browser is obstructing shutdown. It is always necessary to ‘force quit’ Brave Browser. ** How can this issue be reproduced?
Open Brave Browser
Attempt to close per the method mentioned above
Attempt to ‘quit Brave Browser’ as mentioned above
Expected result: Be able to close Brave without having to ‘force quit’
Using Brave Browser’s Task Manager and the MacOS Activity Monitory, you can monitor what is running - match the Process ID (PID) numbers of the two windows:
When you attempt to Quit BB, see what may be stubborn.
Helps sometimes, to clear cache, cookies. And, after the Quit (that you manage), Restart the Mac.
Sometimes, there are one or more applications or MacOS processes that are trying to complete their tasks ← and if for some reason, a task is unable to complete, something of the application or the MacOS, will keep on trying.
The Spotlight software on the Mac, can get wound up with what it is trying to do. Unfinished Time Machine activity might be involved. iCloud activity - some sync that is not complete.
