I found a solution. It seems using vertical tabs causes brave to instantly crash (at least in my case). Enabling it in the settings crashes it instantly. You can disable it by editing the Preferences file (its a json file WITHOUT file extension in its name located in “AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default”) and changing vertical_tabs_enabled to false (in the json tree its under root->brave->tabs)
