Bug Description
(upstream bug report: https:/
Ubuntu 18.04
I expect Chrome to play videos.
When I try to play any video on Google Chrome for Linux, any version of 75 or higher, Google Chrome freezes.
Chrome 75 will allow sound but no video.
All mouse clicks become unresponsive.
Attempting to close Chrome after many mouse clicks causes Chrome to crash.
Even worse it often also crashes Ubuntu 18.04.
Google Chrome 74 or lower work without any problems playing videos.
It is a Google Chrome Linux version 75 or higher problem.
I cannot believe that neither Google or Ubuntu or any other Linux OS seem to completely ignore this extremely serious problem.
I am forced to install Google Chrome 71 to fix video playback problem.
I posted on Ubuntu ask, and show over 90 views but no comments.
One answer confirms that he has the exact same problem.
