[SOLVED] chromium/vs-codium segmentation faults crashing after launch

Chromium (or ungoogled chromium) will fail to start, crashing a couple of seconds after launching.
Upon application startup it displays an error page reporting a SIGILL error. Starting from terminal I get:

[3115:3115:0509/180927.034497:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(374)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  chromium

steps I already tried

1. chrome --disable-gpu

2.  rm -rf $HOME/.cache/chromium

3.  rm -rf $HOME/.config/chromium

4.  rm $HOME/.config/chromium-flags.conf

5.  chromium --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

Some info about my system:

• chromium --version

  Chromium 90.0.4430.93 Arch Linux

• uname -r

  5.10.35-1-lts

• pacman -Q | grep mesa

  mesa 21.1.0-1

• pacman -Q | grep video

   xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+916+g31486f40-1
  xf86-video-vesa 2.5.0-1
