Chromium stops XUbuntu 16.04 from going into a screensaver

[Volodya]

My computer is going into the locked screen of Light Locker just fine if Chromium is turned off. However, if it is running, the computer will *not* turn the screensaver on, regardless of the length of time.

Youtube and similar video sites are not loaded into any of the tabs, so it's not a feature that might have been useful.
