Brave v1.80.122 problems on MacOS 15.5

Brave was automatically upgraded to v1.80.122. I am using MacOS 15.5 and there have been no recent updates to MacOS.

Everything is slow or simply fails to render. This includes attempting to open a new browser tab in the same window, attempting to navigate to Brave → About Brave, and even attempting to send the numerous and recorded Crash Reports.

I’ve downloaded the latest Brave .dmg, reinstalled, and the problems still exist.

I am unable to send Crash Reports from brave:://crashes since they never finish sending after clicking on the Send Now button for each.

Update. It seems if I leave the Brave browser open for at least an hour (or so) then things are OK.

If I quit the Brave browser and open it again then the mentioned problems occur again.

Open a Terminal.app window, and enter:

  • open -a "Brave Browser.app" -n --args --disable-gpu --disable-extensions --no-experiments --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure --incognito

That command will start Brave Browser with Hardware Acceleration DISABLED, and using a New Private Window.

If BB running, then try brave://crashes

Location tip: /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

How do I manually submit crash reports?

After you click the “Send Now” button, return to brave://crashes and gather up the Crash Report ID numbers that end with a string of zeros. Post the numbers, here, in a new reply. Example of a Crash Report ID number:

Additional comments…

No VPN was in use. My Internet connection was fine.

No shortage of processor/CPU, memory, or disk resources on my Mac.

No observable spike in processor/CPU or memory when opening Brave and it went into a form of slow/stalled mode. I have iStat Menus and can see excessive processor/CPU or memory utilization on my top desktop tool bar.

Thanks @atcclears, sending to the team for review.

My Brave browser was just upgraded to v1.80.124 and I’m observing the same problem(s). I thought I’d mention this out loud to the Brave dev team.
