Bug Description

The update installed this morning (May 25, 2023) disabled both Brave and Chrome. Firefox is OK. I have installed a newer Brave-beta and it works fine. The problem first appeared in Xorg, where no page could be rendered, including settings. I then rebooted into Wayland and Brave and Chrome can render pictures but not text. The Brave version is brave-browser/stable,now 1.51.118 amd64 [installed]

Please look in /var/log/apt/history.log to identify which update you are referring to.

If the problem is caused by some Ubuntu update then it will be tracked here, but if it's just a bug in Brave and Chrome then it would need to be tracked at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list
