I’ve got two monitors, and I like to watch something while I use the second monitor, to read or maybe chat. After doing some updates in Ubuntu, including updating Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10, full-screen video in Chrome 47.0.2526.73 (64-bit) would get choppy, the second I’d try to use another window. It didn’t matter if it was Flash or HTML5.

Googled a bunch, tried a few different things (such as disabling Adobe Flash Player via chrome://plugins — always a good idea, but didn’t help my problem). Ultimately what worked for me was turning on GPU Rasterization.

In Chrome, in the address bar, type chrome://flags

Then scroll down to Enable GPU Rasterization.
Change it from Default to Enabled.

Relaunch Chrome.

Success? Hope this helps someone.

 

Now back to season 2 of Fargo.
