This broke after the latest update of brave-browser from the repository. It also broke on my laptop running the same versions of software. No crash involved.
I was able to downgrade the package by running the following.
sudo zypper install --oldpackage brave-browser-1.50.125-1.x86_64
This allowed me the chance to add the Sync Code. Since both devices were broken, I had no access to the Sync Code. One from a text file said it was expired. I had a 6 month old Acronis image of the laptop and installed that to put Windows 11 on it and grabbed the Sync Code from there. It worked. I now have a fresh text file of the Sync Code and can try to help out here for everyone else’s benefit.
Now that it is working on the desktop, it was still running version 1.50.125-1, but everything was normal again. I ran a zypper dup and installed the new brave-browser and it immediately broke it.
Doing some checks as you asked.
History seems to be there.
Bookmarks seem to be there.
Passwords are missing.
Offer to save passwords is on. No external password manager installed.
I cannot check anything on the laptop now, since I had to re-image it to get the old Sync Code from Windows. I will just do a fresh install of openSUSE after this is over. I have a full back up of my /home files.
I grabbed the histograms, but it is only 11 lines long and appears to be useless in this case.
