I'm also seeing this with the brave-browser-1.50.121-1.x86_64 rpm package on Fedora 37.

Downgrading to the previous release is a work-around. E.g. on Fedora

sudo dnf install brave-browser-1.50.119-1

Probably a duplicate of #19801

For me everything worked as expected for years until the last update to 1.50.121 version.

We think we've found a fix. Hope to have a new release out in a day or so.

Fixed for me on Fedora in brave-browser 1.50.125.

If you want to help verify, pre-release packages are available from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.50.125

Fixed for me on Fedora in brave-browser 1.50.125.

If you want to help verify, pre-release packages are available from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.50.125

As @rillian mentioned above, we pushed out 1.50.125 Chromium: 112.0.5615.165 which should fix the issue for everyone. If you were having issues, please let us know if the above release fixed your issue. You can also download the deb files manually via https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.50.125. Just for some context, the above was fixed by upgrading chromium from 112.0.5615.138 to 112.0.5615.165.

You can also find some context of what happened via #29871 (comment).

Brave tab immediately and with no exception crashes with SIGILL on https://tailwindcss.com/docs/vertical-align. Firefox and Chromium don't have any problem with this page.

Pre-release version works fine!
