I'm also having similar issues, however, it's random crashes that are happening. No error messages and I'm able to restore pages, but it's intermittent. May also be due to Windows, but I'll keep note of my info here.

We have had the root cause for some crashes found and fixed recently - @jhauradou @ortsaCniveK would you be able to grab the latest and see if the issue still happens?

If so- I'm curious if either of you has sync enabled. If so, a work-around can be to leave your sync chain and create a new one (and add other devices to this new chain)

Let us know 😄

That seems to have fixed the issue for me!

I believe we have a fix for this issue; build is on the way. This should be resolved with:
0.68.x https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/3523
0.69.x https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/3524
0.70.x https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/3525
