1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/safari/download/(or any other download page)

@da2x mind checking if you're having the same issue with Chrome/Chromium?

[coasttech]

same issue

[coasttech]

No issue with Chrome

[da2x]

No issue with Vivaldi either (another Chromium browser).

[rojour]

same issue here.
No issues with Chrome, Chrome Canary, Opera Developer, Safari.

Same problem here

I also have this issue. MacOS 10.14 Beta (18A314k). Brave 0.23.39. Firefox and Chrome do not have the problem.

Possibly fixed by https://github.com/brave/muon/commit/4504af1ad2a704729365f0bbab821c00ea357008 (which is scheduled for 0.23.x Release 5). I'll assign that milestone so we can test

from @rojour over on another issue, using 0.23.77 on Mojave is still crashing once the download is complete https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/14893#issuecomment-410307879

I don't have Mojave so I can't test this... but I suspect the issue is fixed with our new developer channel release (brave-core). Can someone please give this a shot?

Closing here as wontfix because we won't be fixing in this code-base

@bsclifton

Using the following:
MacOS: 10.14 Beta (18A365a)
Brave: 0.23.105

I was able to download several files without issue.

I also tried the new developer channel release:
MacOS: 10.14 Beta (18A365a)
Brave: Version 0.55.2 Chromium: 70.0.3528.4 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

I was again able to download files without issue.

[bsclifton]

@mitchwagner awesome! Thanks for the update 😄 👍

[stshank]

No problems downloading on Brave Core Dev on MacOS Mojave beta 10 for me.

[kjozwiak]

awesome, thanks for checking/verifying @stshank 👍 Really appreciate the update.
