Webpages occasionally blacks out

[please-knock]

Recently there is this new bug where the pages just blacks out when I switch tabs.

Can confirm, I've noticed this as well.

Seeing this in Vanadium and Brave as well.

I looked through some upstream issues but couldn't find one that was clearly this issue (maybe I didn't use the right search terms), this was the closest I could find. Maybe related.

It's happening more frequently :(

Need everyone with the issue to provide more info include device model and current OS version.

Workaround:

• Go to home screen (first swipe)
• Go back to Vanadium/Brave (second swipe)

I usually saw this on tabs in tab groups (as I remember), however tabs in tab groups are also tabs I frequently switch so I can not say if it is a causal relationship or just corrolation often-on-often. I keep an eye on it.

Not clear if it's an OS issue or Chromium issue.

This has gotten so bad recently that I cleared storage, no change, about to switch browsers.

Also, when swiping on tab bar to switch tabs the UI will freeze. All since the big quarterly update.

There's a new Chromium release out today being built now.
