First of all, i have two cards in my machine HD5500 - R7 M260 (Topaz)
Unfortunately ubuntu 18.04.1 does not pick up mesa at default, and it needs to be installed separately.
It was installed before, but the official amd-gpu was a crap, i was not able to login, so i installed the linux and amd-gpu version back and forth, and with bionic beaver it just didn't happen automatically.
When the ubuntu 18.04 upgrade was coming, my GPU card was disappeared very likely. I do remember that it was there on the lspci list.
The post was right, vp8/vp9 hardware acceleration just not supported by my card (i had to instal the h264ify plugin), and i had to install latest dev chromium to make some progress.
Now my CPU is not used at all, steady 6%, however neither ubuntu nor latest released chrome is not there yet to avoid tweaking.
Ok, i have tracked down the issue, for later reference, you can read it: /www.linuxupris ing.com/ 2018/08/ how-to- enable- hardware- accelerated. html /askubuntu. com/questions/ 1066105/ how-to- install- amd-graphic- drivers- on-ubuntu- 18-04

This youtube video is a very good test on 1080p, on chrome it simply kills my PC: /www.youtube. com/watch? v=YqeW9_ 5kURI

Although my CPU is not used at all, the lagging hasn't disappeared.
I think when it's buffering the CPU goes high. (30-40%)
I have read also about some VPN throttling.
I'm not just using youtube. I have made the apport-collect
