Hello folks, after doing a clean install of 20.2 the only Browser that would work was the native Browser (named strangely enough "Browser"). I then did a second fresh install using the Safe Graphics option and both Chrome and MS Edge worked. Wonder did anyone have the same experience. Installed again using standard graphics options just to confirm. Need to use the non-proprietary Browser to get some work done and don't want to reinstall again. Observations, suggestions and help appreciated.
I installed it from the Deepin store which I thought would guarantee compatibility. It installed, it launches and then it sits there unusable (screenshot attached). Thanks for the reply.
It works with Safe Graphics. Which tells us something is out of order with graphics. What graphics your computer has and what driver is used? You can see it in 'lspci -k' output, like this (I have two):
Thanks for your help, output below and I have just one display on an old Advent Laptop. I was amazed that the native Browser would support such low definition graphics while a competitor was nobbled by them.

As for graphics card and its drivers, look for Xorg log. It used to be in /var/log/, but nowadays it may be in your home directory. If it is running Xorg ... maybe Wayland? Sorry, can't be more specific without having access to a Deepin system.
Also, try launching it from the command line and then using it, at least as much as you can. It may throw some helpful error messages to the terminal.
Running it from the Terminal produces the output below. It looks interesting but I have absolutely no idea what to make of it !

I edited the Grub menu so the second option runs Deepin with the "nomodeset" graphic option. Chrome will run and display but video is pretty bad. The Laptop looks more like an "Etch a Sketch" toy.
