Comment 8 for bug 1367870

@carlodoro88: There already is a bug raised against chromium - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357 . In fact I was asked by the chromium people to raise this bug!

There appears to be a strange interaction between the open-source drivers for AMD cards and Xorg (the version used in ubuntu 14.04) and Google Chrome. Sometimes I got crashes with Firefox instead of Chrome, but much less often. I suspect Chrome works with graphics in such a way that it's more likely to trigger the crash. I can't remember if Chrome was always like this on ubuntu 14.04 or only in more recent releases of Chrome (36+).
