OP- it's not just you.
I don't use Edge at all, but I do use Chrome 64 bit to watch YouTube videos.
I have had the black checkerboard over the lower corner of the screen (usually on the right hand side, occasionally on the left hand side), as well as some really stretched and garbled text pop in when scrolling the page.
It started happening when Google started doing their "tests" for their "No Ad Blockers Allowed" nonsense on YouTube. Family members have also had it happen on Chrome 64 bit. Again- sporadically, not every day or every time they open the browser to watch YouTube videos.

Chrome updated a day or two ago to v. 20.0.6099.71 and I have not had the issue since the update, but it was sporadic for 2-3 months (didn't happen every day or every time I was on the YouTube site watching videos), so if the problem still exists, I suspect it will be sporadic going forward.

YouTube has a feedback link in Settings. Click your avatar, and at the bottom of the drop down menu is a "Send Feedback" link that will let you capture a screenshot while the issue is happening- but it doesn't always capture the black checkerboard on the screen or the garbled text. And there is no way to attach your own screenshot there.
If you can capture a screenshot of it with a snipping tool or screenshot app- on Chrome you can click the 3 button menu in the top right corner of the browser, go to the bottom of the drop down menu and select "Help" > "Report an issue". You are submitting a bug report- be sure to clearly describe what is happening and attach your screenshot there.

Don't expect to hear back from them- they almost never reply, but they *may* send an automated email if you are logged in on the browser.

Can't help you with Edge- like I said, I don't use Edge at all.

yea.. sometimes its so bad it affects folders I have open. I have it less since last chrome update (I guess)

but it just shows how incompetent people are nowadays and how long it takes for these incompetent plebs to fix their garbage

Reddit say its Nvidia foult, but for me its weird couse problem started when updated chrome at summer time :(

Sometimes reinstalling adblock or reseting browser help with flickering and artifacts but its for short time....

I have to belive in dx9 solution and sounds its help :D if not have to try opengl as api for EDGE

Yes, I have this issue since around september of this year. Nvidia confirmed that this was a Microsoft issue. It is said that Windows 11 Insider Canary Build 26002.1010 (23H2) solves it.

Wouldn't shock me if it was due to GPU drivers. I've also had broken font kerning, that resolves after updating or rolling a GPU driver back, and machines have NVIDIA GPUs. Never tested to see if the artifacting happened if I switched to the integrated chipset instead of using the dedicated GPU. That might be a thing to test before messing with Direct X and OperGL.

I panicked after getting a new Nvidia GPU a few months ago when this checkerboard effect kept appearing. I forgot about it since switching to Vivaldi. Even though it's Chromium based, the problem went away.

I dont think its messing. Everyone can change it for edge browser search that path: edge://flags/ in adress bar and search ANGLE.

Im testing it meybe 4-5 days and i think works edge perfect now on dx9. I don't see differeces but meybe sth changed cuz dx 11 is newer api than dx 9 but less stable in my opinion.
For chrome path is propably similar :D
