   With the latest releases of Chrome and Edge browsers for Linux/Debian, there's   
   a very noticeable issue with accelerated graphics. On certain websites, even   
   gmail.com, there are weird shapes covering elements.   
      
   I'm definitely not the only person noticing this, but there is no mention of   
   it anywhere on the net. Something's fishy about that. And even fishier is that   
   there has already been a Chrome (for Debian) update that hasn't addressed nor   
   solved the problem.   
      
   I think it's political. Only elite developers know the workaround for   
   developers. For users, the workaround is to disable accelerated graphics in   
   Chrome's system settings (but who's gonna bother to do that?)
