Hi!
I've been trying a few browser with NixOS and Hyprland lately (running on recent Nvidia GPU, AMD CPU hardware).

I tried Brave and ungoogled Chromium and both browsers crash almost immediately after opening.
After the browser crashes, I'm immediately logged out as well.

Some system info:

Do you have any logs? If Hyprland crashes, you can check the crash logs at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/hyprland.

I found a crash report for one of the cases where Hyprland crashed after I opened Brave:
