Just installed latest version from https://www.bravebrowsers.com
As before, It crash immediately. So no window is open to report a crash.

@oivinds that is not a legit website (at least, not one I'm aware of).

Can you please remove that and try to install from https://brave.com/download ?

Did Brave work for you before? Is your user in the staff group? It's going to try and write files out to ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware. Is there anything showing there? If not, Brave may not have access to write to disk

@bsclifton I agree, bravebrowsers.com is most likely a scam.
I have removed it, and installed from brave.com. The exact same problem persists.

Yes, Brave used to work for months. My user is in the staff group.
Inside ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/ there is one folder Brave-Browser

The content has files written to from when Brave worked and after new install today.

I have now deleted ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/
reinstalled, but no change.
