*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1463598 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 I see no benefit in attacking his decision. He knows of the issue and our desire to have web gl at least be able to be turned on via chrome flags. The resolution of the core cause is probably outside the scope of the chromium project. Linux has never had great wide spread graphics card support and performance. Chad, can we get a firm commitment to either a long term resolution or an ability to opt into web gl moving forward?

[Bug 1466670] Re: WebGL Not Working
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1463598 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 First of, thank You, @cmiller, for maintaining this package! I can understand your motivation to disable GPU rendering in Chromium, but I suspect that you yourself don't use WebGL apps a lot. I'm a developer, too, and WebGL is the centerpiece of some of my projects. WebGL is a very useful thing that I imagine grows in popularity fast. Maybe I'm biased due to my occupation, but in my opinion, WebGL is a very important feature of Chromium, that should not be disabled if at all possible. Especially not without any notification to the users and without any way to turn it back on. Events like Chromium suddently not having WebGL support any more are turning people away from using Linux. I think to disable it is a big mistake and should be reverted immediately. Honestly I'm surprised there's not more outrage about this. At least use the Disable WebGL flag in chrome://flags - the average user is not gonna turn it back on themselves. If you want to prevent crash logs from WebGL surely there must be another way, like filtering the crash reports for WebGL related issues. I'm not sure how crash reporting is implemented, but I trust that it should be doable. By the way, WebGL can be very stable. At least it is for me. I don't know why it's generating so many crash reports. Maybe it's bad graphics cards, bad drivers or bad code, but it's not like WebGL itself is unusable or very unstable for everyone. I'm wondering why it's only Chromium giving you so many crash reports. Do Firefox and Chrome not report crashes, are they less used, handling crashes internally or just not crashing in the first place? I hope this can be resolved soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466670 Title: WebGL Not Working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1466670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1466670] Re: WebGL Not Working
Hi Chad, thanks for elaborating why you disabled GPU usage. I'd love to turn it back on somehow without the need for rebuilding chromium myself with default options except for the GPU being disabled. Is there any chance we can get back GPU enabled chromium anytime soon? Or maybe Ubuntu could offer two packages chromium-browser-stable and chromium-browser-experimental. The latter would then have the optimizations turned on.

That is indeed a concerning amount. Have you seen that number drop dramatically since this release rolled out? I never had detrimental crashing issues using WebGL. I am unfamiliar with the Chromium build process but is there a way to disable the feature on update but allow the end user to override that option? I am a developer and one of our products is WebGL driven, I am making due by using Google Chrome for now but it would be nice to have it back in Chromium at some point.

I disabled GPU usage in chromium because GPU crashes (on Intel, Nvidia, and AMD) was the biggest cause of crash reports in all of Ubuntu, by 200%, across all versions, and across all architectures.
