Sorry, it is not the hardware acceleration. Strange enough, the slow startup only happens at first startup (some 30secs) and disappears thereafter.

Chromium snap takes quite a while to start and doesn't carry the system theme, whereas the chromium-browser folder taken off the snap/chromium starts practically immediately. The libcanberra-gtk3-module is missing inside the snap, and cannot use the module in the system. The Chromium snap is 607.3 MB, while the standalone Chromium is 237.2 MB, taken off the snap. Conclusion on Chromium snap on Ubuntu Eoan; Two bugs and a missing module 1) Starts slowly, 2) Cannot carry the system theme, 3) Doesn't have libcanberra-gtk3-module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1847069/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
