Other Additional Information:

• When the issue comes up, I am in the middle of a search so I jump to another browser and paste the link since refreshing in Brave keeps crashing after 1-2 seconds in the page. Using a private session also keep crashing on the tab
• That’s how I noticed that the issue also happens in Chromium while Firefox and Librewolf are fine

I’ve been having this issue too. I have the crash reports that Brave dumped to .config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Crash Reports folder when this event happened. You can download them here in case they are of some use for you. These crashes were becoming more and more frequent until the browser was not usable at all. Then I uninstall it, delete the .config/BraveSoftware folder and now well after a few hours of use it seems is not happening anymore.

Edit: After one day of heavy use, this issue is happening again

I had this same issue too, and a search of SIGILL lead me here now

In my case, I had my ram overclocked to a speed that causes some instability and brave crashing (along with my extensions too). my issue got fixed after putting my ram clock speeds back to auto

hopefully this leads you onto a solution in your case. I apologize if I wasn’t too helpful
