Hello @HolyRadiation, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Can you try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings to see if this resolves the issue?

You’ll find this in Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration

Also, going to brave://flags > Search 'Vulkan' > Disable Vulkan > Retest

Let us know if that works. Regards.

Which GPU drivers in Linux are you using? @HolyRadiation

I’m also affected, on Fedora 37 with Mesa 22.2.3. Using Brave Flatpak. Tested both disabling hardware acceleration and disabling vulkan in Brave Flags, neither fix the problem.
