Now watching videos sucks, because of the tearing. Simply put: the browser is unusable for me. Like comment #12 said: It seems the gpu flag was deliberately disabled by the ubuntu maintainer, a step that renders the browser unusable for me. Everything worked fine without crashes before for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 Title: Chromium 43 fails to use hardware acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1463598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
