This is working for me on Beta/Dev/Nightly. Visiting brave://crash creates a webview crash. brave://crashes shows uploaded crash id which is listed in stats. Doesn't work on release channel though. Not sure which PR has fixed this but looks to be working. @GeetaSarvadnya wasn't able to reproduce it on the nightly channel in her VM though.

With introduction of First run dialog where we ask users to enable automatic crash reporting (#12679) I think it is a good idea to fix this issue.

@rebron Can we re-prioritize this issue and get someone involved?

[btlechowski]

The issue has been fixed by brave/brave-core#8049. Thank you @keur !
