Works well with Chrome and Firefox. Only Brave seems to have this issue. Uninstalled, reinstalled … shields off and all extensions off.
Description of the issue: “Trouble Editing Photo” error when trying to edit any photo.
Exact URL of the website in question: https://photos.google.com/
Did the issue present with default Shields settings ? (yes/no) yes
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? No
Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no): No, both on and off.
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? Yes
Brave version (check About Brave): Brave 1.83.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Here’s the data from the console:

Seems to be working fine for me. Is there a specific action you’re trying to do when editing that causes the error? Are you able to start “editor mode” at all?

Hey Mattches…
If I display a photo, and hit the edit icon, it appears to start to load the editing features, then errors out.
Interesting… although firefox works fine, Chrome matches this exact behaviour and errors out.
Yeah probably a Chromium issue which is why it occurs in Chrome as well. If that’s the case I’m surprised more users don’t see it though (myself included). Digging a bit more on this.

Resolved this issue….
Had to turn OFF “User Graphics Acceleration When Available” in Brave System Settings. I suspect it’s also turned on in Chrome.
Obviously there’s something about my native graphics card under Linux Mint that Google doesn’t like.
