Hey brave community, I am repeatedly getting the below ERROR logs in my system logs when the brave browser is running. I don’t have any idea why this is happening although brave browser is running perfectly but these error logs are annoying and I want to know why this is happening.

What distro? Which logs? Are you running Brave with any special cmdline parameters?

From a few other topics I’ve seen (mainly from other apps), this might be ‘normal’ to occur when you encounter a site with a certificate that isn’t valid.

Do you see this even when only hitting known-good ‘secure’ sites, or maybe can you get consistent replication with some of the ‘known-bad’ test sites linked here? https://badssl.com/

I was running it in ubuntu 20.04 and recently I upgraded to ubuntu 22.04 but still, the error remains the same. I got these logs from /var/log/syslog and I am running brave from the desktop not from the command line. I also think that this is because of some sites having invalid certificates but I observed for all sites, it is giving errors. I have updated brave to the latest version but no change in the error.

Edit: One more thing I see that this error only appears when I switched to one of my profile, for other profiles it is not coming.

Any extensions in the profile that does trigger those logs?
