Random images and UI elements missing at random on Mac

[zachmcnair]

Hi there,

I keep having an issue with the latest update where images and UI elements go missing at random. Here’s a comparison between Brave & Safari.

Brave Version: Version 1.46.144 Chromium: 108.0.5359.128 (Official Build) (arm64)

Thanks,
Zach

@Mattches Curious if you’ve seen anything like this. Thanks!

@zachmcnair,
Thanks for reaching out.
At a glance, I’d say it could be Hardware Acceleration, or a conflict with one of the extensions you have installed. I’d first try disabling HWA (Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration) and test to see if this makes any difference.

If that doesn’t work, I would try temporarily disabling your extensions and browse normally for a while without them to see if the issue still occurs.

Let me know what you find out.

It was the HWA! Curious what this means for my normal browsing. Is it a bad thing to have HWA off all the time?

Nope — you shouldn’t notice any difference
