Thanks to Matthew and Michael Butash for suggestions.
I did a new system update:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
And I have tried removing and reinstalling chrome,
but it still won't work.
Everything else seems to be working okay now.
Not sure how to do the "journalctl" thing.
Firefox
Apt purge chrome and drop the chrome repo. Download fresh and rename/purge
the chrome profile?
That's a little scorched earth I know but it would help you sort out root
cause.

Thanks Stephen ...
I did everything that you suggested and I still get
a black window or blank window when I open the Chrome
browser. The title bar shows a web page open, but
there is nothing in the open window.
Meanwhile, I installed Slimjet and it works fine.
Firefox works fine.
Could the page be a blank page ? Have you tried typing in a working web
page address like www.google.com ?

apt upgrade only does a partial upgrade on your system and if that's all
you do, your system can get into a place where dependencies get out of
wack and the system breaks.
instead do:
apt full-upgrade
or
apt dist-upgrade
They both do the exact same exact thing, except full upgrade is the new
n
Thanks Brian (and everyone) ...
I did the apt dist-upgrade and got these error messages:
