Canvas in Google Chrome 61.0.3163.79 are too slow on Linux

I recently updated Google Chrome to the 61.0.3163.79 version and it was suddenly very slow with canvas. This issue only appears on Linux.

For exemple, http://vincentgarreau.com/particles.js/ was 60 FPS before the Chrome update, and now it run at 2 FPS.

What's wrong with the new Google Chrome update ?

P.S: Chromium 61.0.3163.79 works fine on my computer.

Solution

  • I found workaround. After upgrade Chrome to 61 version I faced same experience with you.

    Try adjust following chrome flag to Disabled.

    chrome://flags/#enable-color-correct-rendering

    I expect Default flag have different means with before 61 version. Below the result is in my case on attached url from you.

    • Default - 5 fps

    • Disabled - 35 fps

    I wish this help you.
