Brave gives a segmentation fault short after launch

Description of the issue:
After launching the brave browser, it crashes all by itself in a few seconds. This started after some OS kernel updates it shows only one tab and asks to restore previous tabs.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Happens every time. Not sure about how it become that way.

Expected result:
Not to crash

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.22.72 Chromium: 89.0.4389.128 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
My Linux OS:

$ uname -a

Launching from the command line:

$ brave-browser
