Bright white flashes and corrupted images on Linux

Description

Initial discussion in https://bravesoftware.slack.com/archives/CG7GV6M7Z/p1670597635627949

This appears to be triggered by the loading of images and videos, but that's just a guess.

There's a bright white flash and in some cases images get corrupted, but get "fixed" on reload.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to imgur.com
2. Click on any post
3. If the problem is not apparent yet, use the right arrow key a few times to trigger it on subsequent posts

White flashes and image corruption

Switching to xf86-video-intel didn't help.

Maybe this has to do this nvidia gpu hardware acceleration?

FWIW, I'm not seeing the white flashes anymore, I think, but still see the corrupted images, although maybe a bit less, hard to say
