Description of the issue:
After updating, Brave browser crashes on launch. “Manage storage” setting is also inaccessible, as it crashes. I am able to briefly see an address bar on a blank screen before it crashes.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Download brave Arm64Universal APK from Github.
Install and launch.
Crashes within 5 seconds.
Expected result:
Brave launches normally without any issues.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.78.94
Mobile Device details
Huawei CDY-NX9B
Additional Information:
I used to have a lot of tabs open, like more than 500, and it was very laggy, so I bookmarked all the tabs and closed them a while ago, but it still has the occasional glitch, like forgetting the latest open tabs and stuttering. I currently have more than 100 tabs open before I updated, as I remember the tab counter just showing a ‘:)’.
If an update could be provided that fixes the issue, so my bookmarks are not lost, I would very much appreciate it.
Update: I managed to access and backup the bookmarks on my PC, as I had it synced on there before I reinstalled Windows. By restoring the profile data on a fresh test profile, I was able to access my bookmarks again.
So, the situation is much less dire, but Brave on Android still won’t launch, and I would much prefer Brave working there.
