It's possible the Chromium/Electron thing is this bug[1], which affects new proprietary nvidia drivers on recent Chromium versions. I also experienced that bug, though I don't think it affected Firefox for me.

It resolved itself for me recently in all apps except Slack. I have no idea why. I'm fairly sure I didn't update anything.

While it was still reproducing, I tested a purported fix in the upcoming Chromium 87 (or 88?) and it was resolved. So just wait a bit or try Canary. More specific info in the bug thread of course.

Yep. Only Slack ever had that problem for me. I reopen it again after every resume, when I have to work with my customers. I don't use Slack for anything else.
I can't stand the electron client of Slack, so I use ripcord instead.
