Crashpad enabled and writing to disk despite settings

Brave Browser Desktop Support
1

Description of the issue:

Running brave browser results in these processes (among others)
18542 /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave --enable-crashpad
18544 /usr/lib/brave-bin/crashpad_handler --monitor-self

Even though ‘send crash reports’ is disabled in settings.

This setting results in one per second disk writes.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1.Start brave browser
2.pgrep -fa brave
3.view results
4. View iotop output for disk writes.

Expected result:
No writing to disk

I can confirm the same behaviour on Version 1.30.89 Chromium: 94.0.4606.81 (Official Build) (64-bit). Ubuntu 21.10.

It has made a flutter application I rely on for billing extremely laggy with horrible performance, CPU temps spike. All other major browsers tested run as expected.
