This applies to internal chromium pages too. This report was submitted from a crash of brave://crashes page, how ironic. Even while submitting this issue it crashes...

Can you reproduce this crash?

It happens always. On a fresh install without any modification. On a stable release version.

What steps will reproduce this crash? (If it's not reproducible, what were you doing just before the crash?)

1. open absolutely any page
2. wait 30-90 seconds
3. the page crashes with error: SIGTRAP

There are no additional logs regarding the crash when running brave from console.

This is reproducible on 1.74.5 (beta) and 1.75.18 (nightly). It is not reproducible on 1.71.123 (stable) which is the previous stable release available from official brave rpm repo's. Please let me know if you need me to test some versions.

I'm experiencing the same issue on Fedora Linux 40 Asahi on my MacBook Air M1.

I'm experiencing the same issue on Fedora Linux 40 Asahi on my MacBook Air M1.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Brave devs, its probably something related to the architecture (16k size memory pages) and might be an upstream bug. I may try testing regular chromium.

From Fedora Asahi matrix room:

[@refi64:linuxcafe.chat]
hello, a quick PSA for the chromium users here: chromium 131 seems to have an issue where browser processes crash randomly, because, surprise surprise, V8 actually has a hardcoded 4KiB guard page size, and a recent change makes that size much more load-bearing. fix for me was to revert https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/5864909 for now. I filed https://issues.chromium.org/issues/378017037 with the details, might try to see if I can fix it later (but probably won't get to tbh).

Brave devs, I suppose you could temporarily revert https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/5864909 until the official fix is available (16k page size platform are supposed to be officially supported by chromium, so it should be fixed).

*update: the chromium project issue is no longer available for some reason. Its nor open or closed, so it might be deleted or now private.

Same issue here on my Mac Mini M1 running Fedora Asahi Remix 41.

Downgrading to Version 1.71.123 solves the issue for now.

Sharing this report more broadly internally. If anybody else can contribute Crash IDs, or last working version feedback, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm curious also if Chrome or Chromium is working, whilst Brave is not. Details appreciated!

This fixed it for me:

sudo dnf downgrade brave-browser

I've been working with folks on Reddit and @hollons has been working with customers too.

Here are a few crash IDs that @hollons has collected:

Uploaded crash report ID:	65f81400-8605-eb0c-0000-000000000000
Uploaded crash report ID:	62f81400-8605-eb0c-0000-000000000000
Uploaded crash report ID:	60f81400-8605-eb0c-0000-000000000000
Uploaded crash report ID:	5cf81400-8605-eb0c-0000-000000000000

And then here's one from the person I am talking to on Reddit (see https://old.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/1gv2rjh/brave_crashing_constantly_every_minute_or_so/):

Uploaded Crash Report ID:	29c71700-8605-eb0c-0000-000000000000

These might be different than the reports on Linux - I'm not sure yet

[bsclifton]

@life00 huge thanks for sharing that information - I'm talking to folks on the Chromium slack and trying to see if this affects other platforms as well. Issue in the Chromium tracker can be found here: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/378017037

I have the same issue on PiOS as well. I am unable to even get a crash report sent.

Downgrading to 1.71.123 is a workaround.

Updated chromium is working fine: Version 130.0.6723.116 (Official Build) built on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) (64-bit)

Seems to be in Brave.

Another open issue: #42312

Can confirm the same observed behavior on both F40 and F41 Asahi with 1.73.91-1.

Downgrade to 1.71.123-1, as suggested above, worked for me and I now have a stable primary install.

I can reproduce this at will on the Beta and Nightly builds as well. It seems to be essentially the same behavior. Tabs open and work briefly and then err out with a SIGTRAP.

Here's an example uploaded Crash ID recently generated on Beta:
