Sorry, but hardly anyone here will be able to do anything with your description of the problem.
1. neither Chrome nor Brave are part of the official Debian/Siduction repos. Which versions do you have installed?
2. is your system up to date (apt update && apt dist-upgrade)?
3. KDE/Plasma, Wayland or X11, ...?
4. what do you mean by a page not loading properly?
5. example pages and the concrete problems (screenshots) would be helpful.
6. have you tested Chromium instead of Chrome?
7. which pages crash under Firefox?
8. ...

For Chromium, i can confirm the Issue, Chromium does not render any site since todays upgrade.
For Google-Chrome and Firefox i can't see any problem here.

After removing ~/.cache/chromium and ~/.config/chromium, Chromium is working again.

A virgin Wayland session works fine with Chromium.

Perhaps it is the legacy files (cache, config) that are causing problems. The problem should then disappear with a new user created as a test.

Recently Google Chrome and Vivaldi, as the browsers based on the Chromium machine, have been updated. And only these versions are working again on my siduction.

[Interestingly, the standalone desktop version of the Bitwarden client as an Electron-based programme still does not work.

UPDATE:
Bitwarden works again after deleting the current

Code: [Select]

~/.config/Bitwarden]

I now had the same problem, the solution is to delete only the GPUCache folder.
Tested with the following browsers: Chromium, Vivaldi, Opera

Before deleting, you can test by starting the browser without GPU:

Code: [Select]

chromium --disable-gpu --disable-accelerated-video-encode
If this works, simply delete the GPU cache folder:

Code: [Select]

~/.config/chromium/Default/GPUCache
The complete browser profile therefore does not have to be deleted.
