Because you have to get used to system crashes using brave, at least on Linux.

Literally never had one on win or droid. Been using for over 5 years.

Tried it on one of my Linux boxes and had two hard crashes in the first three days. So nah, not 'till it's stable.

FWIW I use Brave as my primary browser on Ubuntu 20.04 - I haven’t had any issues with Brave over the last six months or so. Obviously there’s a zillion different setups and mileage may vary....

Working fine for me on Linux, OS X, windows and iOS. Nice that it syncs.

Same. On my mac, I've actually had the same browser window, without ~20 tabs, open for at least a year straight now lol, no issues at all.

At most I've had to turn blocking off then back on for a couple sites with screwy code.

Are you high? What could you possibly be doing, or have broken, that your browser, and Brave of all things, crashes you out of Linux?

Analyzing the crash dumps says brave doesn't seem to always check that memory it requests actually has been allocated to it. One of them seems to cause a kernel panic instead of a mere segfault. Either that, or it's passing garbage of some sort into a system call. Might be a problem there, ya think? I see a bright fucking future for your sorry ass in customer support.

You're using Linux, if you need someone to hold your hand for tech support, it may not be the OS for you. Not saying you do, because you dropped some buzz phrases into your reply, but you made an absurdly broad and generalized statement about Linux, which encompasses eleventy-billion distributions, which is categorically untrue. Ubuntu had an issue with Brave a few months back I think...might have impacted Mint, not sure, but it wasn't super widespread as far as I know.

First, start with what Distro your're using, what version, and then ask what you've modified (because that's what we do with Linux)... Anyway, I'm not here to fix what you are clearly capable of fixing yourself if you wanted to, but Brave works fine on Linux. You're an outlier if it doesn't work for you.

I wasn't asking for support; I was pointing out someone's moronic assumption this was some kind of cockpit error, on an unmodified distro, no less.

Other browsers work with no issues, just reporting a data point. Sorry it doesn't agree with the mob's experience. I'll trust mine, thanks. It's served me well since 0.98 kernel.

I use it every day for years and don't think I've ever had a crash. This is on a rolling release distro, fwiw.
