In case this helps, on my Intel Mac, PWA's still work on my Home profile, but do not work with the update today on my Work profile. @heldr, do you have multiple profiles?

[heldr]

@jonthomason just created 2 new profiles and none of them worked with twitter and YouTube pwas too.

Just thought I'd check. No idea why PWA's still work on my home profile. I'm definitely seeing the same thing you're seeing on my Work profile.

I've noticed that since upgrading to macOS Monterey (12.2.1) AND updating Brave soon after I've not been able to open my Outlook PWA. I've tried a few other PWAs, including Brave's community PWA, and nothing is working. I get the same behavior as the OP, click to open, immediately crashes/dies/exits.
