Additional Information:

@Kingishungry information you have shared seems off. Brave has required Android 9 since around version 1.64.

Version 1.74 requires Android 9 or later. But you say yours is Android 8.1?

Can you double check.

I have checked properly and my phone has android 8.1

I have Android version 9 and I also get this error. The application closes immediately when I try to use the browser search bar.

This issue can be resolved by disabling the “Show quick search bar” option.

How to disable it:

Once this option is disabled, the issue should be resolved.
