Hardware acceleration in Chrome (or "make google maps great again!")

[Jean-Philippe Ouellet]

Hello,

Google Chrome disabled the chrome://flags mechanism to disable WebGL
some time ago, but now it appears that it is back as "Use hardware
acceleration when available" at the bottom of the Advanced section of
chrome://settings.

Disabling this makes google maps not lag/crash for me! :)

Perhaps everyone has already done this and I'm just late to the party,
but I don't remember seeing it discussed in a capacity other than
"yeah... this is a problem", so I figured I'd share.

Cheers,
Jean-Philippe
