Package: chromium
Version: 59.0.3071.86-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


===============================================================================
Running chromium since at least version 57 has poor video performance
with netflix, so that the images are no longer synchronized with the
voice.

I got the error message below when running this version of chromium from
a shell; it complains of a missing /usr/lib/chromium/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so:

  14686:14686:0611/093211.904336:ERROR:gl_implementation.cc(246)] Failed to load /usr/lib/chromium/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so:
  /usr/lib/chromium/swiftshader/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  [14686:14686:0611/093212.108944:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(174)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization

It appears this version of libGLESv2 should have been installed by the
chromium package below /usr/lib/chromium.

Otherwise, chromium should look for a version of this library in the
system from other packages:

=> dlocate libGLESv2
/etc/alternatives/glx--libGLESv2.so-i386-linux-gnu
/etc/alternatives/glx--libGLESv2.so.2-i386-linux-gnu
/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libGLESv2.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/opera-developer/lib/libGLESv2.so
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0

Fixing this missing library problem might help to see if it was the
cause of the poor video performance in chromium, which does not happen
with other browsers on the same system.
