1. Which version of Privacy Browser PC did you install?

2. Where did you get the .deb?

The seg fault looks to me like a problem in one of the underlying Qt5 packages. My guess is that this is caught up in the Qt5 -> Qt6 transition, and, as this is a daily ISO, Privacy Browser PC needs to be rebuilt against whatever has changed. I know that in Debian they are trying to handle this transition without breaking too many things, but on the cutting edge sometimes breakage is necessary.

As you got the package from the Ubuntu repository (which is what I would recommend), I would suggest you file a bug report with Ubuntu.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/privacybrowser

Feel free to link to the bug report here after you file it. I would like to follow it and see what the resolution is.
