@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

Anyone else having issues with the browser crashing frequently?

Started approximately a week ago for me.

@gr523 that sounds like a bug in you AUR helper, not a packaging issue. makepkg does not clean the sources.

gr523 commented on 2022-01-25 11:21 (UTC)

The package file along with the zip file is deleted on sudo time out, so the same zip needs to be downloaded again and makepkg again Cleanup should be made only after successful install

@alosarjos thanks for the response! I'm using X11 for my setup for stability reasons and have already installed the previous version. I wanted to share this issue on here since it was breaking some expected browser functionality. Unfortunately, this appears to also affect the Beta and Nightly builds of the browser as well.

Y'all are doing great with this, thanks for supporting this browser's availability on Arch! I'll look forward to the patch update!

@jordangarrison I saw recently that Arch chromium package got rebuilt with some patch to fix it.

In my case is working without any issue. The patches mention X11, so maybe it's working for me because I'm using Ozone/Wayland. Anyways, seems to be an upstream chromium issue.

Thanks for posting the issue on GitHub, sadly it looks like it hasn't been backported to current Chromium version and I don't think Brave will apply it. So you can either:

  1. Enable Ozone Wayland
  2. Install the previous version (If you don't know how I can help you with that)
  3. Install maybe the nightly or brave (Not -bin) version with the patches applied I would say.

Anyways, the users of this package are awesome and they usually notify me really quick of new updates in case I miss them, so if Chromium fixes it, and Brave releases a new update based on fixed Chromium I will update the package ASAP.

There is a functionality-breaking issue with the current version of the package which prevents the user from being able to drag and drop into the browser window or rearrange tabs with the mouse. You can follow this issue here (GitHub brave/brave-browser issue #20386).

The previous version of the package does not contain this issue.

@jemadux: Yes, if you activate them.
