> Crashing on a page designed to exhaustively test GL features is one thing. How about crashes which actually affect end-users? I expect that the volume of users who will be negatively impacted by blacklisting is far higher than the volume of users impacted by serious nouveau bugs like this. The difference is that the former user hasn't been annoying Chromium devs in their bug tracker yet.
Do you honestly think that it's reasonable or acceptable for Chrome to allow an arbitrary website to hard lock a user's machine?
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoDo you honestly think that there isn't a page which can crash any driver? WebGL is a poorly thought out mess. That being said, you're right, but a more appropriate response than blacklisting nouveau would be blacklisting this particular WebGL feature on nouveau.
