Chromium upgrade breaks more than it fixes

"On 2-18, I downloaded the KB4023057 update, the optional windows 10 version of 21H1 for x64 based systems. It completely uninstalled my Libra office program without my permission. Now all the libra office documents on my computer appear as Word documents instead of Libra office documents."

That is not good, though just running the Libre Office installation should fix that. Is your profile %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice still there? Meanwhile kb5010342 would not install on this AMD desktop. Even after doing a Reset+ Reregister Windows Update Components.

Running on Kubuntu 20.04 - working fine, even got google.com. I use duckduckgo.com for a search engine. Presearch is an up and coming search engine; https://engine.presearch.org

I have Chromium installed but never really use it. I use WaterFox and Brave and also Falkon which is a KDE Linux thing.

When I type in search box I see the cursor move, and invisible typing occurs.

You've got malware.

I’ve been using Vivaldi (built by the people who built “Opera”) for a long time.
Vivaldi talks about how they’ve bypassed a lot of Chromium stuff but the “help\about” page shows: Chrome/98.0.4758.105. Even the vivaldi://system command doesn’t show Chromium.
Scratchin my head.
