The Brave browser application keeps on closing everytime I search something or click on my bookmarks

1

Every time I go to search something up or click on one of my bookmarks the browser immediately closes itself. Also when I open it back up, I click ‘restore tabs’ and it opens up my old tabs, then immediately closes. I am using a 2017 MacBook air (version - Catalina 10.15.3). I’m not sure what to do, can someone please help me so it stops closing by itself?

Hello @DreadfulArrow

could you disable all extention and try again?

if not work could you try to create new profile and after that close the other window and see if the new one work fine and have a nice day

if you are comfortable with command line could you do that

close brave and make sure no running process of brave then create new folder then

start brave with command line using those argument

–user-data-dir=pathtoTheFolderthatyoujustcreated

check this post if you like to get an idea

hope that help and have a nice day

I would try what you have said, thing is, when I click the menu button it just crashes again, so therefore I can’t even make a shortcut to run the command

10

i am not telling you to create shortcut
just run the command

11

where do I run the command?

12

on the terminal :slight_smile:

13

i’ve run the command in the terminal and it says “command not found”

14

could you type the command that you type here

15

–user-data-dir=pathtoTheFolderthatyoujustcreated

16

forget about the command line and wait tell one of the team to help you
maybe they have better way than the command line and have a nice day

17

Ah ok. Thank you for your help anyways and you also have a great day!

@DreadfulArrow,
Can you right-click on the Brave icon in the dock and select New Private Window and tell me whether or not the browser crashes?
