News Feed-Promoted Links Crash

Everytime you click a promoted link in the news feed–browser crashes…is this happening with anyone else?

Brave News is working just fine for me. Can you please provide more information surrounding your issue?

Again – we need more information:

  • What Brave version are you using?
  • Can you provide the actual specific links you’re clicking on that cause the crash?
  • Do you have any extensions installed in the browser at this time?
  • Did you just now enable Brave News or has this always been happening? Or is the issue now just starting to appear?
  • If you visit the links outside of Brave news (copy/paste/go) does the browser crash?
