Well, on one of my machines I installed Mesa from the kisak more stable 
ppa ("turtle"), which is more up to date than mesa from the jammy 
repository. I was able to re-enable hardware acceleration with no 
problems. So there is something in the whole collection of mesa packages 
that broke several chromium based browsers.

Title:
  After mesa upgrades, Chrome won't show graphics

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After today's Ubuntu 22.04 mesa upgrades many of our users reported
  problems viewing graphics when using Google Chrome (Stable).

  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.
