Upon some testing with the latest github release of 1.4.24
release here : https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases
It seems the crashing after Rewards enabled has subsided in this version.
DO NOT TRY AND MERGE THE TWO BROWSERS! This version appears to be a prototype for a later Nightly channel release, and alleviated the crash issue. I will continue using nightly, and cheching here periodacally if anyone else has this issue.
It at least appears that Brave is attepting to fix the issue (Thank you Brave Devs)
However, what’s strange to note is this ‘Nightly Prototype’ does not recognize itself as nightly, probably because it’s still in development, and has no actual ‘allocation’ for which update channell it is supposed to go with.
All I can hope is next time I awaken from a slumber that a hotfix has beenrolled from proto phases to nightly.
Hope this helped someone.

- Other Additional Information:
The Brave Shields don’t affect on the problem.
I have to keep one tab for the browser to work, which is obviously very inconvenient (at least I didn’t notice that the browser closes with one tab).
I have noticed as well that one tab open does NOT stop Nightly from crashing on my PC’s, and VM as well. Have tested this on:
britannica.com - crashes in search engine AND web address bar
att.com - same as above
twitter.com - only seemingly thru search engines
download.cnet.com - same as twitter
Will post more broken sites as new information is avalible.
It seems like @hnktong added, Brave Rewards causes this, as I can confirm disabling does alleviate the issue, but is a tad bothersome if someone like myself has grown acustomed to Brave Ads.
