@rebron @bsclifton I’m working on this
I’m looking in to this, it’s been affecting me this whole time
Probably @bsclifton, @petemill or @Brave-Matt could bump the priority on this
After some digging I’ve found that BetterSnapTool (https://folivora.ai/bettersnaptool) seems to be causing the problems. I’ll try and see if I can find what exactly is causing this and why it’s actually causing Brave to crash (and not BetterSnapTool)
Hi folks - this may be fixed with Chromium 92 which will be in product version 1.27 which we’re aiming to release soon.
When this new version pops up, please let us know if the issue is resolved 😄 If you’re using Beta or Nightly, you should already have the update
Still happening for me on the latest prod build.
Same problem with Timing app. This is a big deal. Please prioritize this.
@ctwhome FYI, if Cinch is the only app you use that causes Brave PWAs to crash, you might want to consider an alternative window manager like Rectangle (I have zero affiliation with Rectangle btw). As far as I know, Rectangle doesn’t cause Brave PWAs to crash unlike the other window managers like BetterSnapTool etc.
So excited! Once this ticket is approved I can finally delete chrome!
Can confirm my issue related to better touch tool functionality seems to be resolved as well!
I have created a new issue: #21302
Hmmm strange. I have a feeling you might have another app / extension you use that is interfering with Brave. For me, AltTab is the thing that interferes. I just tried quitting AltTab and leaving Rectangle open and my Brave browser apps which “Open as window” opened with no issues.
Btw my version of Rectangle is Version 0.44 (49).
Try disabling some other apps that require MacOS Accessibility permissions to find the culprit.
Yea, I think it might be with apps that require accessibility permissions. Started happening for me with a few other apps. Unfortunately, as much as loved this app, I was forced to switch back to Chrome w/Adblock because of this issue (plus some more rare slowdowns/crashes)
Assuming
priority/P4label means this won’t be done any time soon?@craigmdennis that’s the way to go 👍🏻. Now it gets the attention is needs.
@craigmdennis Please make a new issue, the error is way too generic, it probably has a different stack trace.
I can confirm this issue has been resolved for me in version 1.27.
@ron-wolf It’s still happening for me with the latest production build 😅
Any updates on this?
Reproduced easily:
+1 - I do not use BetterSnap or BetterTouch, however seeing the same problem. Apps work fine with Chrome, but crashes on Brave.
Thanks for looking into this @petemill !
@mdbraber @melMass @digitalmaster can you all please try the Nightly build of Brave? https://brave.com/download-nightly/
Try to create a shortcut and see if you run into the same problem. There’s a good chance (with Chromium 83, which is on master and will be on Beta soon) it will be fixed
If that does fix it, we have a release coming next week 😄
@Brave-Matt great if you could get some developer eyes on this!
@bsclifton no, I don’t use the digital keyboard, but BetterSnapTool does use many of the accessibility features, so I could be calling the same methods which make Brave crash
Did some more digging and it seems this is a bug in Brave, rather than BetterSnapTool. The
accessibilityTitleproperty called should exist. I’m not sure what patches Brave uses that change this, because it does exist in the original Chrome source code (and e.g. Chromium doesn’t crash from the same problem): https://github.com/chromium/chromium/search?q=accessibilityTitle&unscoped_q=accessibilityTitleI’ve asked the BetterSnapTool developer about his knowledge about this particular type of crash: “Maybe Brave uses a different kind of custom window for more customisability or something like that. In that case they should either disable Accessibility support completely for that window or implement all the required methods (or at least add stubs so it won’t crash when macOS calls them).” (https://community.folivora.ai/t/bettersnaptool-and-bettertouchtool-cause-brave-web-browser-apps-to-crash/12299/5)
@bsclifton would you be able to elaborate? Also, it seems this should be tagged as a bug rather than a feature?
