For the last 4 days I cant open Chrome or Brave. I click on the chrome or brave icon and nothing happen. No error, no loading, just a big nothing. I unistall, deleted the config files, etc. But I'm not an expert and dont know what I can do now.
I don't know what change in my computer for this to happen but it is what it is! I don't have much information and I dont really know how to get the information you guys would need to fix my problem so i'm jjust wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.
Firefox and Chromium works fine but I cant sync my google accounts with them
My english is not very good so dont hesitate to ask for more information or for precision and i'll google translate if needed.
sudo apt remove brave-browser brave-keyring
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-*.list
sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser

Can you test launching the brave browser from terminal using the disable gpu flag?
brave-browser --disable-gpu
Can you please relay the results seen in terminal?

There is nothing to relay, the cursor just blink for about 30-40 seconds then it stop and nothing happen
In terminal can you please run
snap list
and
flatpak list
and see if you have Brave installed as either a Snap or a Flatpak in addition to as a .deb?

Cant see chrome or brave in those lists
mathieu@thinkpad:~$ snap list
At first, I began to wonder if something is wrong with your GPG. But then, I tried a net search on the issue of Brave Browser not launching... and found a slew of other users reporting the same issue and symptoms.
I have noted that in several cases, the user says it happened after Brave was updated.
Have you tried purging Brave and any configuration files (check your ~./config and ~./local to be sure) and then installing an older previous version from a .deb package?

I will try installing an older version. The problem is also with chrome. I already purge all config files from both software
Just a guess here. Were they both flatpack?
That fixed it for me. Something about 20.08 being at end of life.
