**Description of the issue:** Browser oft crashes. Very annoyed. Constant restore session. **How can this issue be reproduced?** I don’t know. I just use it. It frigging crashed on me when I clicked about Brave. Had to restore session 4 times just to write this. **Expected result:** No crash. **Brave Version( check `About Brave`):** Version 1.38.111 Chromium: 101.0.4951.54 (Official Build) (x86\_64) **Additional Information:** Reinstalled, didn’t help. Only YouTube nonstop installed, nothing else. ---

I am an user of Windows OS so I may not be able to help you properly, but searching about the issue took me to [one of the old threads](https://community.brave.app/t/frequent-crashing-macos-monterey-m1/336926/4) of Brave. Looks like you are not the only one facing the crashes, but there are multiple other mac users. Read it, I hope it will at least help you understand the issue. ---

Unfortunately, not much help. I don’t see crashes logged, and the problem persists for months now. Does Brave have some kind of log itself? This might be due to faulty videodriver. ---

Nothing seems to help. I get crashes more or less constantly. Chrome is stable, same with firefox, safari, waterfox and safari developer. ---

Is there any way to clean install Brave on Mac? Fully uninstall, but keep the wallet? ---
