Description of the issue:
For the past several releases, Brave Browser is generating error messages like
2024-08-15T08:49:23.283347-07:00 temp-Alienware-x17-R2 brave-browser.desktop[4347]: [4387:4387:0815/084923.283067:ERROR:sync_control_vsync_provider.cc(140)] Calculated bogus refresh interval=0.002083 s, last_timebase_=621714722 bogo-microseconds, timebase=621731402 bogo-microseconds, last_media_stream_counter_=36628, media_stream_counter=36629

every few milliseconds. I have reproduced this on an Ubuntu 22.04 system as well.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Just open the browser and observe /var/log/syslog growing rapidly with messages like the above. You don’t have to have anything but the single welcome screen tab to see this.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
In /var/log/syslog:
