@tathastu871 sorry that this issue fell through the cracks ☹️ Do you have any flags on? Like if you visit brave://flags?

Let us know if you're still using Brave. Device details and Android version are appreciated too. Other details like - do you have sync enabled? These types of details will help us narrow down or reproduce the issue. Thanks!

@bsclifton

If devs cant solve this issue below is the proposal for slight change in how search bar works. Brlow is screen recording of how search bar works in brave and kiwi browser on android. Both are chromium based.

Kiwi:

Brave:

If devs cant resolve crashing issue. Try Implementing above feature as it will ease the users ability to correct or modify the previous search

Similar situation here, I would suggest you to switch to kiwi with ublock origin until it gets fixed. At this point the crashing on third party search engines seems intentional for them to gain traffic on their own search engine. I personally opened the issue with recording and everything, go no reply. Even reported on crash feedback popup menu as well. This issue is still present on beta and nighty builds after reporting several times. Switching to a different browser will be a smart move at this point.

tathastu871 commented 1 year ago

It may be occuring as brave cannot handle more than 50tabs open in that case the memory crash may be happening @bsclifton pleSe do something notify dev its not about featire request it about crash so it has to be urgently treated

I am currently using floccus extension for syncing. Here is a guide to set it up with nextcloud: https://www.reddit.com/r/kiwibrowser/comments/qozcww/kiwi_and_floccus_bookmark_syncing/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR1

you can also use gdrive to setup floccus, works flawlessly!
