Unable to open Brave, crashing on start-up

See original GitHub issue

Brave suddenly stopped working on my system. Every time I launch it, the window opens but is frozen and crashes after a few seconds.

I am not yet sure, but it appears this happened after updating Mesa v19 to v20.

Console output:

Wait a second, it is currently working as normal again. The stuttering stopped and it closes in a clean manner (no trailing process). Also instead of ~14% CPU (see screenshot above) it is at 1-2% now.

I have no idea what fixed it. But it’s kinda scary.

EDIT: Gonna keep this open for some time, until I can verify it went away.

@bsclifton No, it does not appear to be the case for my bug: brave_task
