Brave Browser crashes on launching application

Reporting back, my Brave seems back to how it was (ie working). The issue seemed to be related to the “new tab” / default home screen which I never changed. I noticed when I loaded up Brave I had about half a second to click on a shortcut and it wouldn’t hang and would access the desired link. I’ve set my new tab to my search provider and everything is working fine. I’ve reinstalled my old extensions and everything is back to how it was.
