Similar to Browser crashes when searching from the address bar on private windows, Brave Nightly on Linux / Pop! OS (ubuntu/debian) installed from apt install brave-browser-nightly began crashing when you search from the address bar in a private window.

If you type a url into the address bar it works fine.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open a new private window
  2. Type Browser crashes when searching from the address bar on private windows into the address bar
  3. Hit enter
  4. Observe that brave nightly crashes both private and normal windows.

Expected result:
It should open the search results for the default search engine.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.60.22 Chromium: 117.0.5938.62 (Official Build) nightly (64-bit)

Additional Information:
Installed from:

Searching works fine in a normal window.

I have already submitted an issue in their github:

The Github above was closed because it was a duplicate issue that already was open by someone from Brave. The main Github to follow is below.
