Thank you @ctouard, can you update to 1.83.118 and let me know if the issue continues? I’ve added your report here for tracking https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/50195#issuecomment-3410519822.

Auto updates are on and the current version on the laptop is 1.83.118, and yes, continuing to crash repeatedly at opening, but after multiple attempts, it works.

Experiencing the exact same thing in MacOS 15.7.1 on multiple machines.

Solved my problem: I had disabled News Feed Update under brave://flags. Set back to default the browser doesn’t crash.
