Well, if you're willing to investigate, using ungoogled chromium resulted in tremendous gains while using youtube to the point where I can speed up a video to 2x without the fan ever running amok against my ears.

I will take a look this weekend and if I can properly explain and document the issue in detail, I will definitely give you everything I can. I should add that for an identical Linux distro-and-version, and identical browser versions, my laptop (I forget the SKU, but Intel Broadwell U-series GPU) is about equal in performance between Chrome and Firefox. That is to say, 1440p60 runs smooth on each, so they're good enough that there's no issue from which to discern a difference (which is damned impressive for a 4-year old mobile chip, imo).

Also, please tell your coworkers to fix Gmail so that it works fine for users experiencing problems in browsers other than your own. Thank you!

Fixing this would be like eight steps forward: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 The annoying part is that hardware acceleration works on chrome OS, so we know the support is buried in there somewhere.

  Google closed that as Won't Fix, they are very opinionated and steadfast in their opinion as an organization. I doubt they will take Linux outside their own walled gardens seruously, Google has already shown their indifference to us Linux users.

    They opened it as Won't Fix, which appears to be their way of saying that they'll accept work but it has a priority of less than zero.

Asking to do the work of raising a bug to make a product better which is competing with other non profit product is in itself a bit arrogant in my opinion. On top of that the attitude to be lazy to search for the issue which was already marked as won't fix https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 is not the right thing to do. I would have appreciated if you have created the issue with the details provided and shared the link her for the op to fill in more details.
