Thank you for your great commitment and your quick response to Google's changes.

Huge thanks to the marvellous GOS team for making latest v10+ Pixel Camera working again w/o Play Services, much appreciated! :-)

madhpharma UnInstalling the update makes both browsers started working again

Same story here, and yes, it is fixed by uninstalling the update.
At least on my P9PXL, I haven't tried the update yet on my other Pixel devices.
I don't have sandboxed Play Services installed, perhaps it has something to do with that? (I am merely guessing.)
I am on build number 2025102301
Here is my crash report:

Is this crashing if used with the beta channel GOS release update?

For me only Brave Browser crashed, but after changing OpenGL driver to angle for Brave Browser in developer options it works.

Spike too soon, it worked only a few times then crashed again. Will revert the update for GmsComoatLib to use Brave/Vanadium again.

How can this update be blocked in the store?

xxx How can this update be blocked in the store?

Perhaps it is best to uninstall the current version and wait for a fix, rather than completly blocking updates that may be essential for security, I'm just saying, but I am no expert though.

Pocketstar I did so.

Furthermore, it seems that the TheGmsCompatLibrary update only appears in the app store on build 2025102301, not the update that precedes it.
Perhaps it is a conflict of not having sandboxed play services installed, and an gsmcompatlib update that appears in the app store on incompatible devices on a certain build?

It's supposed to be that way since it has a minimum OS version requirement set to 2025102300.

Pocketstar

GrapheneOS Ah, I see! So it was suposed to be there regardless if the sandboxed play services had been installed or not.
Oh, and version 101 fixed the problem indeed.
Thank you for resolving the issue so quickly, amazing work as usual!

GmsCompatLib version 101 has been released to resolve the font preloading crash introduced by GmsCompatLib version 100:
