Aww snap on youtube playback, doesn't happen on vimeo / other video sites

[Twiggeh]

Description

Playing YouTube videos results in an aww snap after some random period of time ... Sometimes it happens after 20 seconds, sometimes it takes multiple hours for it to crash. It happens even after I've cleared all Browser data, after a clean install and in a private window.
brave://crashes is empty, I don't know where to look for the "Aww snap Issues".

@Twiggeh next time you run into the a webview crash, mind checking brave://crashes and sharing the the Crash Report ID with us? Should look similar to the following example:

If you're on release, you might need to click on Send and restart the browser so the reports are sent to us. We don't automatically send reports on the Release channel. Example:

@kjozwiak "aww snap" error doesn't generate a crash report ...
(I did enable "Help improve Brave's features and performance Automatically sends crash reports to Brave" - I think it's the option you are talking about )

@outforpublic nightly has the same issue ...
It seems all javascripty things have crashing issues - discord client crashes on screenshare and on voicecalls, video playback in the embedded player also crashes the client. The webpage version is much more stable, but still crashes.
Discord's server for bugreports doesn't work and those discord crashes also do not produce any kind of logs. Only in xfce I got some kind of log in dmesg that happend on those crashes
[ 5787.347494] SGI_video_sync[13453]: segfault at e6 ip 00005584030c920d sp 00007ffb491ab840 error 6 in Discord[5583ffc28000+53ad000]

The thing is also that it doesn't crash gracefully, but the whole system locks up, every other program stutters / gets blocked.

I'm putting this here because the crashing behavior is the same (and maybe it is useful somehow?)

The crashes also become more frequent when I am working on animations, aka playing back animations in Krita makes this error appear ~5min

@Twiggeh Can you update to 1.8.86? This maybe an issue with Chromium 80 and resolved in the latest Chromium 81.

Has not been fixed with the latest (see Version below) release, Brave now displays this error message on crashing the webview SIGILL
