When opening the Brave Browser it shows up blank, freezes a little bit, then closes itself

Saoiray · December 7, 2024, 4:07am

@J.O.S just fyi, with it currently be in Friday night it probably will be a while before support can take a look at things. Typically they only work Monday through Friday, with any American holidays and weekends off. So just will have to be a little patient.

J.O.S · December 7, 2024, 9:55pm

Thank you for the heads up. I’m looking forward to hearing any updates hopefully by Monday the earliest.

J.O.S · December 12, 2024, 11:07pm

@Saoiray @Mattches It’s almost the end of Thursday. Do either of you know if Brave support has looked into the Uploaded Crash Report ID?

Mattches · December 12, 2024, 11:57pm

Just pinged the relevant devs again, hope to have more information for you soon.

J.O.S · December 20, 2024, 4:56pm

I’ve been patient, but this is ridiculous. Why hasn’t there been an update? It’s been 2 weeks since I submitted the Uploaded Crash Report ID. The holidays are almost here, and I fear having to wait until next year which is inexcusable.

Sometimes, a Windows OS user has, with BB not running:

Moved the “BraveSoftware” folder to another location.
Quit everything and restarted the PC
Started Brave Browser
Found the “Bookmarks” file in their Profile (usually “Default” folder) within a sub-folder of the “BraveSoftware” folder . . . and copied that to their new “Default” folder.

IOW, if you remove the “BraveSoftware” folder, then, with the subsequent startup, Brave builds a whole new “BraveSoftware” folder.

Saoiray · December 20, 2024, 5:47pm

@Mattches just wanted to tag you in on it again. Not sure if able to provide any more information or assistance ahead of the holidays. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. It looks like it’s likely an upstream bug that’s waiting on a fix — possibly related to this:

@J.O.S is it possible for you to reproduce the crash and submit another ID so that we can confirm this?

J.O.S · December 20, 2024, 7:39pm

Because I want this error to finally be over with, I’ll give you 3 Uploaded Crash Report IDs in case it shows differences that can be remedied that sending only 1 wouldn’t provide.

58370b00-ea01-180d-0000-000000000000
7c360b00-ea01-180d-0000-000000000000

I hope that it doesn’t take another 2 weeks to hear something.

Mattches · December 20, 2024, 9:38pm

Forwarded to the appropriate devs, hope to hear back from them soon.

J.O.S · January 2, 2025, 10:18pm

As I predicted, I haven’t heard anything in regards to my issue for the remainder of 2024 since Mattches last posted on December 20th. Now that the holidays are over, can you please let me know if the 3 Uploaded Crash Reports helped solved the upstream bug?

Saoiray · January 2, 2025, 10:35pm

@J.O.S in case you missed it, his note is as follows:

Holidays always have delays. People have lives outside of work and they do things like take vacations to spend time with their families. We’ll be seeing them all start to return next week.

J.O.S · January 13, 2025, 4:25pm

Hey @Mattches, what’s the hold up?

@Saoiray there’s no need to talk to me in a patronizing tone. I’m frustrated that it’s been more than a month since I created the thread and it’s taking forever to get updates on a solution.

J.O.S · January 20, 2025, 11:01pm

It’s been exactly a month since you wrote this, @Mattches. Can you please check with them again or let me know if I need to send more Uploaded Cash Report IDs?

I am being told that it is a Chromium based issue but a strange one and one that they do not appear to be tracking at this time.

J.O.S · January 22, 2025, 1:50am

Thank you for replying. When you say that the issue is not being tracked at this time by the developers, do you mean that my issue isn’t at their top priority?

J.O.S · February 6, 2025, 10:59pm

Sorry to bother you @Mattches but can you find out from iefremov or anyone else that would be involved with fixing the crash issue how much longer until they start working on it?

Mattches · February 6, 2025, 11:04pm

No worries — sorry for the long wait time here. I haven’t heard anything back but have just pinged them again for any updates they can provide.

J.O.S · February 7, 2025, 2:49am

Much obliged for your help.

J.O.S · February 28, 2025, 3:00am

Any updates? I’ve seen a video on YouTube that Firefox is now going to sell user input data to advertisers and prevent users from using the browser that they see as problematic and that makes me miss using Brave even more. For now I’ll use Brave Beta as my default browser.
