You can use their free ProtonVPN, it’s your choice but free costs them a lot of money, so maybe you should start by wondering: Why are they so caritative giving things for free and losing money doing that?

Those with Brave 1.41.x and 10.12 (Sierra) and 10.11 (El Capitan) or lower should not be prompted with an update to 1.42.x If the issue did occur after a crash, providing us with the crash report ID would be helpful (you can do this by going to brave://crashes and sharing the crash report ID left under the event) But, you always need to connect to a server, which you need to pay to get access to, so the famous VPN will give you a guide to connect to their VPN servers through OpenVPN and Wireguard or PPTP. I do not user VPN and the only extension I use is pw manager, which is enabled, and which I reset, cleared and relogged in but still having same issues.trap the process with this exception upon encountering an unrecoverable error, and log additional information about the error in the ‘Additional Diagnostic Information’ section of the crash report. The only solution I found for this, is to manually change the state of the selected filters in the settings file “Local State”.

As this is an important issue, rather than waiting for a fix to come from upstream (as we often do with Chromium based issues), we are attempting to see if this is something that is within our scope to fix ourselves. Note that this is a non-trivial issue and a rather large undertaking and may take some time. You can read more about this in the “Advanced reading” section below. Actions users can take to help The only extension I was running was the youtube dislike button return, but brave is still crashing on the fresh install so I’m not sure that the extension is still even there and again deleted what was previously recommended by Brave Support (the “cffkpbalmllkdoenhmdmpbkajipdjfam” folder): Those protocols are in fact free, and there are even routers that can act as server/client or just server. But then, try to use a commercial grade router to try to achieve high speed connections, you sometimes can’t, because they need good processor and memory because of the encryption making connections slower, especially OpenVPN. It’s important to note that any VPN or service that’s going to keep you the safest and offer the best protections will have to be able to pay for their services somehow. If not from you, then where do you think the money is coming from? Without money, quality and safety drops.

A portion of that, in detail [I dis-assembled Apple’s paragraphs, so I could read it more easily]: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) . . . I’m assuming you’re using the normal version of Brave. If none of the above works, can you try to install Brave Beta or Brave Nightly and see if issue persists? (If you do install these, try not to add extensions and all. Use it right “out of the box” for a while first. Then over time add things) So, to sum up: if you don’t freak out if there’s some glitch and follow up with them then everything is fine. We’re still dealing with a very young and ambitious project and for me the rewards system is still in a kind of beta stage but it works nonetheless. YoloSwaggins Renaming would have been a workaround more than a fix. It would have been nice to be able to have pursued on your issue to determine the problem and have teams work with you to get a proper fix. That said, I’m going to ask you some questions and we’ll see how much you can provide.

Yes and no. Nothing is ever completely free. Some are able to support by also offering premium tiers. But many others sustain themselves through collecting and/or selling your information, even if they claim they don’t. A good example of this is https://www.techradar.com/news/millions-of-free-vpn-users-records-leaked where they had announced they don’t collect your data but then a database containing this information was found. To whoever mod it may concern: This was not triggered by a settings change. It was probably triggered by an auto-update in the weekend and I can still reproduce it up to this time by enabling all adlists. This allowed me the chance to add the Sync Code. Since both devices were broken, I had no access to the Sync Code. One from a text file said it was expired. I had a 6 month old Acronis image of the laptop and installed that to put Windows 11 on it and grabbed the Sync Code from there. It worked. I now have a fresh text file of the Sync Code and can try to help out here for everyone else’s benefit. And for all those bug repors here on the forum: I read a lot of them and to be honest, most of the time people are just too lazy to wait one or two days, do misunderstand a thing or have done something wrong by themselves. I’ve rarely seen any cases where any large sum of BAT were lost – most of the time they could be recovered very easily and the Brave team was always helpful if you take the time to write a detailed report instead of just complaining with one-liners like “where’s my BAT? Help!”…I’ve earned about 1000 BAT so far just by using the rewards system and referring it to some friends and family members – yes, others have earned way more but for me this translates to about 200+ Euros which is quite an amount for just using it. (I could have certainly earned way more if I would have more than a handful of social media followers…) I wanted to update you all on the status of this issue and assure you that our developers are actively looking into it. Issue is likely Chromium based We do appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding here and hope to have a solution to this issue as soon as possible. If anyone sees a Community member reporting this issue, please direct them to this thread. Yes, there are bugs and there are glitches with the rewards system but all in all I am a happy user of Brave and all issues I’ve stumbled upon have been resolved by the Brave team so far. Brave version is Version 1.43.89 Chromium: 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit). Running Windows 10.

If you deny access to Keychain when it asks you (macOS) when launching Brave. It needs that access to encrypt/decrypt. I’m not running any firewalls on my computer. My home wifi does have a firewall, but my family is able to run brave ok on it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/understanding-the-exception-types-in-a-crash-report”What OS are you using where the issue occurred (be as specific as possible, eg Win 10, Win 11, macOS Ventura v13.3.1)? Is Brave able to stay open long enough for you to go to brave://crashes? If so, try to submit crash logs and provide crash report ID.
