@JogosGo thanks a bunch for reporting! Can you share your Crash Report ID? Can be found at Brave://crashes.

Here is the crash ID: bd220100-b78c-5e0f-0000-000000000000

Thank you, will file an issue. Does it happen when using keyboard shortcut to open the tab or when clicking on the plus sign?

5

whenever a new tab is opened, independent if it is with CTRL + T, the + button or the browser opens with no previous tabs. Also, it doesn’t crash if the new tab page is set to “New Tab”(empty page) and crashes with the other options

6

@JogosGo just to clarify – are you using Brave’s default NTP/dashboard or do you have an extension installed that overrides it?

7

I’m using the default Brave dashboard

You said you’re using Nightly at this time – if you’re on Windows, can you please update the Nightly build to 1.90.3 and tell me if you’re getting the same issue?

9

It’s already on 1.90.3, it might have auto updated after a crash

Brave 1.90.3 (Compilação oficial) nightly (64 bits)

Chromium: 146.0.7680.32

Gotcha – thanks for confirming. Will have to wait for the team to take a look at the crash report. Not seeing any crashes on new tab when testing on my end (Windows 11)

11

ok, Thank you.

It started doing this randomly in the morning but before that it was totally fine (didn’t do nothing)

12

do not mean to chime in to keep this open. but when you “crash” does the browser just become unresponsive (not closing, but hangs) where windows itself works fine? if thats the case, i have the same issue. although i dont do new tab per say. i open a link in a new tab and this happens. -brave itself shows “window unresponsive” for a bit, then itll come back after 5/10 seconds. if this is not similar to the issue you face, i will check for other threads with this issue. i am also NOT on nightly build. 1.88.127 (latest build) Chromium: 146.0.7680.71

13

No, when it crashes it literally closes the browser with no warning or error

Just responding here to share the link to the issue and note that our devs are looking into this presently:

I don’t know if this helps but here’s a video of the crash occurring
