Reproduction steps
Expected Behavior
Opens the respective widget, page or interface without causing any issues.
Actual Behavior
For "Help": White window appears for a split second and then the app "crashes" with message "Cannot load YouTube Music... Internet disconnected?". Also clears the font and switches to what I assume is the system default.
For "Terms and Privacy Policy": the YTM page gets unloaded and the "Terms of Service" page gets loaded. This causes a full loss of state but doesn't fully require a reload as you can hit "Navigation" -> "Go Back". This also causes the top window buttons to be weirdly scaled.
For "Send Feedback": The send feedback widget opens with no way* to close it.
*I assume when you submit the feedback to google it would close the widget, but I did not attempt that.
Enabled plugins
Additional Information
Weirdly, "Impressum" (German for Imprint, I have the app in english, but thats the only German part? I assume because of local German laws?), works and opens in another window.
As this was marked "cannot-reproduce", heres the bug in action. Newest build.

honestly I don't see this as an important issue
@Simyon264 I think this issue is only reproducible in some regions (e.g. EU), I will investigate the issue further.
It most likely isn't, but it would be nice to warn the user as this does interrupt the listening experience.
Since I am able to reproduce this issue, what should we do?
Should we attempt to open those links in the browser instead of having them interfere with the app?
I would say either a seperate window or opening them in the OS Default browser.
Kind of how the "Impressum" button does.
