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.
But making a generalized statement based on your single data point is profoundly asinine. If you got sick eating shrimp one time, would you start to claim that shrimp is poison? Don't be an idiot. Your bad experience is an outlier, yet you presented it as if it were the rule stating categorically that Brave causes system crashes on Linux. No one cares how smart you are if you're going to make stupid statements anyway.
Oh, I thought Linux never failed. I've never had a distro (I've run a few dozen) or a version, for that matter, where everything actually worked in the UI.
Never mind then...just remembe,r aside from the base OS, Linux is a playpen for developers - when your next upgrade goes to shit.
