- Disable hardware (GPU) ie Graphic Acceleration [–disable-gpu]
- Enable leak detection and if that failure occurs, then crash the browser [–enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure are a combo]
- Produce error/log output to a file named ‘brave_console_out.txt’ on the Windows OS Desktop
Changed Path:
