I have tried for the past little bit to install brave nightly, the installation seems normal at first but when i try to open the application it crashes after appearing in the dock. I have tried clearing the “default” folder in ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser-Nightly/Default but that didnt do anything. I have also tried the instillation again but i ran into same problem.
I have seen that some other users have had the same issue but a fix has not really been found
