After a big Manjaro update a few days ago my Brave Browser does not work anymore. Brave can be started and closed and the Brave window can be moved around. That´s all. It says Brave was unexpectedly closed. But it´s impossible to type in anything, search or perform a mouse-click. Everything is shown in light grey and the Browser doesn´t react to anything.
I tried to do a new installation which seemed to work but the result is the same. Brave doesn´t work!
The actual Brave version installed is 1.85.116
I have searched the Internet about this issue but I didn´t find any helpful results. Maybe someone in this Forum can point me in the right direction!

Mod edit:- In future please format all code or command output as pre-formatted text (use the </> button in the Compose window). This has been done for you this time. No charge. Next time we expect you will tend to it yourself.
No! There are no more messages even if I wait for longer. And the strange thing is: the Browser was not really unexpectedly closed. It´s only a message telling that.
One test you can do is install the new 6.18.0 LTS kernel. I also had some problems with Brave closing without warning, but since I installed this kernel it seems that the problems have disappeared.
Another test, start Brave from Terminal with brave --disable-gpu to disable hardware acceleration and avoid problems with some graphic cards.
I have tried the disable gpu command above. Now the Brave browser is working like normal but I have the following messages at the console. Could I leave it as it is or is some action needed?
Mod edit:- Malformed inxi output removed. Mo charge.
I´m still struggeling with this preformatting… Maybe now:

Now we know hardware acceleration is the culprit, go to Brave Menu, Settings, System, disable “Use graphic acceleration…” and use Brave as always. Following one Mesa update about two years ago, Chromium based browsers are quite problematic with hardware acceleration.
I wonder how that is done:
posting the terminal output as one single line
instead of multiple lines as it appears in terminal
just highlight the output, paste it here, highlight it again and then use the </> button
or put three backticks at the beginning of it all and another three at the end
What terminal are you using?
That looks like the difference between Windows line feed and Linux line feed.
One uses carriage return and line feed (“\r\n”) as a line ending, the other (Unix) uses just line feed (“\n”)
Still as ugly as before.
It’s supposed to appear in a relatively short, scrollable box,
not how yours looks like
That is why I wanted you to try with something smaller:
the output of ls -l
should look just as mine (which is not from Manjaro)
