Description of the issue:
I use brave nightly and I activated the group tabs option from chrome://flags (specifically chrome://flags/#enable-tab-groups)
It worked fine until day before yesterday after which everytime I try to close a tab, the app crashes and when i re-start the tab is still present.

How can this issue be reproduced?

1.Enable chrome flag chrome://flags/#enable-tab-groups
2. Try to close a tab.

Expected result:
Tab closes and app doesn’t crash

I started seeing this issue in the released version of Brave from the Play Store. I have the following flags enabled: #enable-tab-grid-layout #enable-tab-groups #enable-tab-groups-ui-improvements #enable-tab-to-gts-animation. Until today, I have had no issues with this configuration (been using it for at least a year or more). However, starting today, every time I try and close a tab, the entire app crashes, and when I relaunch, the tab is still there. I have ~100 tabs open and would like to close quite a few of them, but can’t at the moment. I’m running Brave 1.21.73/Chromium 89.0.4389.72 on Android 11, Pixel 4a (5G) Build RQ1C.210205.006
