For those folks experiencing the above issues, could you launch Brave via the terminal/CLI via the following:

macOS

--args --log-level=2 --enable-logging=stderr

Example of how how to use the above on command:

/Applications/Brave\ Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave\ Browser --args --log-level=2 --enable-logging=stderr

Leave Brave running for a bit and once you’ve hit the issue, copy/paste the output into a text file and please email [email protected].

Windows

  • Right click on the Brave shortcut and select Properties
  • Add --enable-logging --log-level=2 to the end of Target, example:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe” --enable-logging --log-level=2

  • Click on Apply (might need to accept as Administrator)
  • Run Brave via the shortcut (might see a CMD terminal appear)
  • Once you’re run into the issue, send over the following log dump to [email protected]

C:\Users\kamil\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\chrome_debug.log

Hopefully it will give us a smoking gun of what’s occurring so we can release a fix ASAP.
