Comment 15 for bug 2020604

Passing --disable-gpu would likely help here.

Hardware acceleration stuff can be seen in about://gpu.

At the moment we have hardware acceleration decoding, which as far as I can tell is not the issue here, in candidate/hwacc and edge/hwacc but that is focused at Intel.[1]

For the time being I think for Chromium snap we can just add a

  rm -r "$SNAP_USER_COMMON"/chromium/*/GPUCache

as a stop gap measure.
