## Description
I'm noticing that my `Samsung S8 Ultra Tablet` is having issues loading tabs at the top. I'm seeing the following occurring:
* graphic artifacts
* blank tabs with no text
* entire row of tabs missing
* entire row of tabs appear is a dark/black line
They're usually corrected after the page loads or you tap on the tab but it's not a good experience. Switching between tabs is also causing tons of artifacts and strange behaviour. This isn't happening with `1.42.97 Chromium: 104.0.5112.102`.
However, I think this is due to `Vulkan`. Maybe something was changed on `C105` that's causing this particular tablet to run into rendering issues when `VulkanStudy:Disabled`.
Using `BETA` which has `C105` and also has ``VulkanStudy:Enabled` works fine without any issues and everything is rendering correctly.
## Steps to reproduce
1. install/launch and version of Brave that has `C105` (used https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.43.87)
2. open ~3-4 different tabs and re-launch the browser
3. you'll notice there's issues loading the tabs
4. once the browser is re-launched, attempt switching to other tabs
5. tapping on the omnibox also causes the issue to happen
## Actual result
## Expected result
Tabs should be loading without any issues/rendering artifacts.
## Issue reproduces how often
100% reproducible using the STR/Cases outlined above.

Sorry, I Googled the issue first and didn’t find anything. I should have searched here also before posting. I did enable Vulkan and it did solve the issue on my Samsung Tab S8+
