Thanks for looking into this issue. On my system (old IvyBridge desktop with intel Gen7 GPU), the latest chromium version is/was still broken when combined with the "intel" DDX driver: without "--use-gl=desktop", chromium starts fine, but the browser UI hangs/freezes when switching to full screen mode (triggered by e.g. pressing F11 or full-screen video) with "--use-gl=desktop" the chromium UI immediately freezes I think chromium around 84 was still fine, with later builds it started breaking. I did some digging and found that the reason for the issue on my system is most likely is a bug in the "intel" DDX driver (and/or) SNA acceleration, which I had manually enabled a long time ago. I switched to "modesetting" driver now, and things look fine now again. Not blaming the chromium developers here, as it looks more like an intel DDX bug* to me. But maybe this info will be helpful for other users. *additional reason why I think its an intel DDX bug: firefox also freezes when enabling GL and WEBRENDER when using intel DDX, but seems to work fine with modesetting/glamoregl
