[Testing Update] 2024-04-19 - Kernels, Plasma, Firefox, Thunderbird, PipeWire, NVIDIA

Since chromium 124 it no longer works with --ozone-platform-hint=auto (or --ozone-platform-hint=wayland) on Wayland KDE. (Browser opens but it’s completely transparent)

Can confirm on two separate laptops with brave 1.65.114-1 and Microsoft-edge-stable-bin 124.0.2478.51-1.

A workaround is to either use Xwayland or force Wayland mode by using --ozone-platform=wayland (so only --ozone-platform-hint is broken)

EDIT: I also found a relevant Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1c63fgz/latest_update_of_chrome_on_wayland/
