Installer

• Check that installer is close to the size of last release.
• Check signature: If OS Run spctl --assess --verbose /Applications/Brave.app/ and make sure it returns accepted. If Windows right click on the installer exe and go to Properties, go to the Digital Signatures tab and double click on the signature. Make sure it says "The digital signature is OK" in the popup window.

Session storage

Do not forget to make a backup of your entire ~/Library/Application\ Support/Brave folder.

• Test that windows and tabs restore when closed, including active tab.
  • Ensure that the tabs in the above session are being lazy loaded when the session is restored
  • Ensure that hovering over lazy loaded tabs correctly loads the tab without any issues
• Move away your entire ~/Library/Application\ Support/Brave folder (%appdata%\Brave in Windows, ./config/brave in Ubuntu)
