I’ve too been hit by this bug (also in google-chrome-stable -since
several weeks ago-).

The pkill -f 'chromium --type=gpu-process' workaround works for me (also
in chrome).

I have 3 pc’s where I use chromium and google-chrome a lot (mostly the
latter):

o) desktop with up2date debian sid
o) laptop with up2date debian stretch
o) laptop with up2date debian jessie

IIRC, all of them have the same version of chromium/google-chrome-stable
packages.

It only happens to me on my desktop with debian sid. If it’s of any
relevance, it has this video card:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV730 GL [FirePro V5700]

While the other 2 laptops have an intel.

I would happily provide any information or do any test to help fix this.
It’s really annoying.

Thanks.
