techgyo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hardware acceleration doesn't always provide a pleasant experience. Some applications that using it may run much less systematically. So, for example, if you have a black screen issue in Chrome, you should manually disable in the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Moved from Technology News. An article on hardware acceleration and how to disable it is more a guide than news, so fits better here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLord Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It also causes various problems for Firefox on some machines, such as increasing the load time, scroll up/down lagging, desktop freeze, etc. It is on by default and should be turned off manually when necessary.

spudboy Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Your headline forgot the "In Chrome" part. The article is strictly for Chrome and gives no advice on disabling hardware acceleration anywhere else. Would have been nice to know that before clicking on it.
