Is anybody here able to check if this same behavior is observed with PWAs installed from Chrome? Confirmation either way would be much appreciated. cc @craigmdennis@dennise
Tried to create a shortcut with the option “Open as window” in Chrome and it works as expected - zero crashes. Not sure if this “extension window” is the same as a PWA.
This is perfect, thank you. Could you also try installing a PWA to see if that also works without issue in Chrome? @craigmdennis shared a few in the initial post at the top.
@sampson thanks, I Installed Twitter for example. When opening, it shows the dock icon and instantly freezes. Trying to force quit doesn’t work and after a few minutes of trying to quit the app, it quits. <= this same behaviour is with extensions - not killing the process.
Even restarting the mac doesn’t work because of the frozen app.
We’re making progress on our end; about to update https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/21302 with some additional information. Thank you all again for your help in tracking down this buggy behavior.
It looks like version 1.36.108 has restored the PWA functionality. I’ve downloaded and installed it manually and have successfully restored all my PWA apps.
