Brave crashes instantly whenever I try to open it since enabling chrome://flags features

Description of the issue:
I enabled some features in chrome://flags. I have the exact same features enabled on another Android device and it works fine. But not on tjis one.
The Brave app crashes instantly when I try to open it. No matter if removed from background, reset cache etc., it always crashes instantly. I can’t disable any of the features because I can’t even open the app. Because of bookmarks and Brave Rewards I don’t want to reinstall the app.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):

  1. Enable all group-tab related chrome://flags features
  2. Relaunch
  3. Tap app icon

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Instant crash
Expected result:
App opens
Reproduces how often:
Every time
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Android 9, Brave 1.17.72

@Aa-ron @steeven
Still won’t open. Restarted the device but no difference.

Is there any way to force the app to open so I can at least disable the flags?
