Browser crashes when changing internal cookie settings

[Brave-Matt]

Description

It's hard to tell exactly what is happening, but it has something to do with where exactly you click when changing internal cookie settings in brave://settings/cookies. The browser crashes when swapping between options, but there were several times where I was able to swap options without any crash. It seems more likely to occur if you click on the text directly (as opposed to clicking on the radio button itself).

That said, it seems like once I produced the crash the first time, no matter where I would click the browser crashed. I think the selected language may also have an effect on this. I can reproduce this on both macOS and Windows 10 systems.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Brave, go to brave://settings/cookies
2. Switch from whatever setting you have currently to one of the other options (doesn't seem to matter which one).
3. If the browser has not already crashed, try switching options by clicking on/near the text of the setting, rather than directly on the radio button.

Actual result:

Expected result:

No Crash.

Reproduces how often:

Easily/every time.

I can confirm, Brave crashes when I change the cookie settings too.

I'm getting this issue (or the same effect), from changing the cookie setting from the URL bar in Brave Beta 1.17.61, seems to happen reliably for any site.
