Playlist function not working in Brave

Browser Support
1

Description of the issue:
The playlist-function in the Brave browser cannot be accessed. When attempting to access the function from the sidebar, it crashes the browser and forces it to close. This problem seems to have occured after the latest update, as I have not had any related problems on earlier version of Brave.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Launch Brave.
  2. Go to brave://flags/#playlist and enable the feature.
  3. Relaunch the browser.
  4. Open the sidebar by pressing ctrl + B.
  5. Press the music-icon (playlist function itself).
    Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
    Due to the lack of time, I am unable to provide screenshots or gifs. However, the result should be a crash of the browser.
    Expected result:
    The playlist opens and shows the downloaded music- and videofiles.
    Reproduces how often:
    Always.
    Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
    v1.63.162
    Additional Information:
    I have attempted to restart the Brave browser and my own computer several times to see if any different results are given. The result remains the same. I had also additionally tried to use the “Reset the settings” function in Brave without any positive result.
    While accessing the playlist-function never caused any crashes to the program, I have had problems the Brave browser in earlier versions would crash after attempting to remove certian video files (typically-large files). Feel free to provide me with feedback on what I can further provide to you in order to get this problem fixed.

Hm. I have attempted to replicate my own instructions on another computer of mine (Windows 10), and to my suprise, the crash did not occur, but all previous installed videoes were wiped after having updated Brave to the latest version. This problem seems to therefore be affecting perhaps only certain devices, or might be only affecting me. I have therefore proceeded to change the title of this post.

Here’s additional valuable information that I have gathered after having posted this post:
*I have attempted to reinstall Brave browser several times (first uninstalled the Browser without removing any data).
*I tried to downgrade to version v1.63.156 with the same crash-results when attempting to access the playlist.
*When installing the latest version of Brave-Beta (v.1.64.88 as of the time I am writing this post), the playlist function works perfectly fine.

The two points above suggest that the problem isn’t from the Brave version itself, though I did first experience this problem when I had updated to a new version
*I have tried to remove all cache- and logs in my Brave-browser from the past 7 days (Ctrl + H, Delete browser data, advanced-settings, then ticking all boxes) without any positive results either.

Some of my device specifications:
Windows version: 11. 23H2 64-bit. 8-GB RAM.
