If you still encountering the problem, open a private window, navigate to brave://flags/ & Click on the "reset all" button on the top right. This will reset all the flags to it's default configuration. This fixed the crashes for me.

However, as soon as I open the browser, it crashes without a chance to type brave://flags

Hi @dev-coco Can you launch brave via terminal?
https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044860011-How-Do-I-Use-Command-Line-Flags-in-Brave-

open -a "Brave Browser.app" --args https://www.brave.com
or open -a "Brave Browser.app" -n

Should be able to go into brave://flags from there

No, I can't open the browser. It crashes automatically after running, and then displays the following error.

1.43.x does feature Chromium 105. @dev-coco @donefool does the latest Chrome work for you? (if you have it installed)

Chrome is work, but brave still don't work

@dev-coco let's try this - I'm on macOS and I verified these steps should work

Open a command line and try running this:
"/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser" -- "https://brave.com"

This should open Brave and have it opened to brave.com. If that works, go into the URL bar and put in "brave://flags". Once there, hit Reset all in the top right. That should get you sorted - please let us know!

If that doesn't work, can you please try installing an older version of Brave? You can download 1.42.97 from here:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v1.42.97/Brave-Browser-universal.dmg

With that older version, you can then visit brave://flags and try to do the Reset all
