This post from the Brave forum MAY explain some of it. Dude there says it's Google, trying to get people to turn their adblockers off. Well, joke's on them. I already uninstalled uBlock. Still get the crashes.

If I go to YouTube with Brave's shields and protections turned off globally, as soon as I click on 'Aggressively block trackers & ads' it crashes without a murmur. Same as if I open a thread on this forum that has an embedded YouTube video.

Are you also on Windows 7/8? I'm trying to finish a huge, old project before I yank the old disk from the laptop and replace it witn a new one on which I'm gonna run Linux. Since these operating systems are no longer supported I that means that Google's newest bug/feature will never get patched out of our versions of Brave.
