Kubunu 22.04 Mesa update breaks Brave version 1.51.118

Browser Support Desktop Support

Latest update on Kubuntu 22.04 Linux caused my Brave browser to act wonky, i.e. not load crucial page elements, I searched for & found a work around.

close Brave, start Brave on the command line with:

brave-browser -use-gl=egl

the issue seems to be the updated Mesa libs don’t play nice with Brave Version 1.51.118 Chromium: 113.0.5672.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)

There are some options you could try:

You can start Brave the following way from terminal:
brave-browser --disable-gpu

Additionally you could try to empty the folder GPUCache in your Brave user profile and see if the browser works again that way

And last but not least, you can manually edit the Brave config:

In your user profile there should be a JSON file. Find the setting for acceleration (“hardware_acceleration_mode”) and change it manually.
