Brave just upgraded their browser for Linux and many users are unable to open it afterwards. (I was one of them.)
Support said it's a known bug and pointed me here for workarounds: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/49160
I followed these steps that I found there and reverted to the previous version:
* I determined previous version was available using snap list --all brave
* Used sudo snap revert brave to roll back
* Used sudo snap refresh --hold brave to prevent updates and will unhold once it's fixed
Of course, I could have just installed a new instance and imported my saved bookmarks, but who wants to use an unstable browser?
Hope this helps.
