Having the same problem. Since Brave version 1.43.90, it crashes on start up every time. Unable to use it. I use Android Samsung Note4. If there's any additional information that you would like, please ask.

I have just upgraded to Brave v1.43.93 from play store, but it still crashes. I had to install Vivaldi to browse the web. When do you plan to fix this issue? Thanks.

another brave update from play store, this time v1.43.94, and still it crashes. I have a little BAT's in this browser, and I cannot get them. Please fix it.

@424344 are you still crashing? We've had a few releases since 1.43.94 that fixed a few known crashes. Are you experiencing crashes on startup? Or after using Brave for [x] amount of time? Believe you mentioned you're using Android 6? Could you also give us some more detailed information on the exact device you're using?

I know the Google is dropping Chromium support on Android 6 starting at C106 as per https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/z_RvoPoIeoM/m/w_ys3ieOAgAJ but 1.43.94 is on C105 so I don't think that's related.
