Description of the issue:
After the new update, brave browser had relaunched and asked for restore tabs, after that it crashes automatically when i try to open the brave browser. (within 1 second )

I m using macOs Monterey v12.3

Aggregate Topic: Outdated Brave crashing on YouTube

My attempt at an aggregate solution post. This is affecting ALL OSs with older Brave browser versions. Win 7/8.1 are hard-locked to a certain version, which this impacts the most. The “why” is due to the following: There’s a part of Brave that still updates in the background brave://components. This is what handles stuff like the Shields (and why it continues to work with blocking ads/trackers even in older versions).

Thanks for the reply , but the above solution i wont be able to try as it is crashing the moment i open brave. I wont get enough time to open brave://settings/content/braveShields in my browser.
So probably need to make some changes in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser i guess.

This is issue fixed.
How i fixed it :

1. copied the brave-browser from applicationSupport in a separate folder.
2. deleted the brave-browser from applicationSupport.
   3 .On starting the brave browser it created a new brave-browser i replaced the current default with the one that i had copied earlier and it worked. Thanks
