@kjozwiak, @srirambv: regarding the difference in behavior between Win/Mac and Linux, that is likely because Win/Mac use Crashpad for crash handling and reporting, whereas Linux uses Breakpad. There’s some code that indicates that there’s an effort to transition Linux to Crashpad as well, but it hasn’t happened yet (https://chromium.googlesource.com/crashpad/crashpad/+/HEAD/doc/status.md).

@mkarolin awesome, sounds good 👍

Regarding the above issue with crashes not being uploaded. @btlechowski confirmed that he’s not seeing any crashes uploaded on Win 7. I tried Windows 10 x64 and getting the same results, not seeing any of the crashes appear in stats.brave. @LaurenWags mentioned that it’s working for macOS. So we either regressed reporting in the past ~week or so or there’s an issue with the server. I pinged @aekeus and he’s going to take a look when he gets some time 👍 If the server side looks fine, I’ll try getting a regression range.
