Disabling gpu solved the problem for both Brave, Brave-beta and Chrome. Once I could get the browsers to open up and render text, it was than possible to turn off hardware acceleration. Any idea if the mesa driver problem will be addressed in the next update?
An ironic thing about the about://gpu url is that unless you disable the gpu, it's not possible to even read the url. A real chicken and egg problem.

The mesa upgrades we installed were: [UPGRADE] libegl-mesa0:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] libegl1-mesa:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] libglapi-mesa:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] libglx-mesa0:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 [UPGRADE] mesa-vulkan-drivers:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2 We documented the problem in AskUbuntu before we realized it was probably related to mesa, so wanted to link to that report here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1469116/since-23-may-2023-ubuntu-22-04-mesa- updates-chrome-wont-display-website-graphi There are several useful pointers and bypasses listed in that AskUbuntu link (one being to remove affected users' GPUCache directories, which does not destroy their profiles and seems to work in many but not all cases). Not sure if this is an issue with mesa or Chrome or specific machine graphics or an interaction between them.
