@ThunderThome , Thank you for testing — we are discussing this with the team now.

I to am having a problem with getting the browser to open on my Windows 10 pc. Please fix.

I can confirm @ThunderThome ’s words, the same is happening to me. Not sure about the version, but I assume it’s the newest one.

I think it’s this one - 116.1.57.47 How would I go and find out about the extensions? I had a couple, but I don’t remember.

I performed this and it opened with a Welcome to Brave screen. I have an ERROR on the hamburger menu and and it says i have version Version 1.57.47 Chromium: 116.0.5845.96 (Official Build) (64-bit) Same as everyone else normal operation just white screens and then closes.
