Google Chrome Hardware Acceleration M1 MacPro

[M1Pro]

Looking to confirm my experience. With Google Chrome (M1 native arm64 build), I am unable to fully load web pages such as Amazon, TheStreet, etc. When I disable "hardware acceleration" in Chrome everything works as expected. The only actively running extensions are Last Pass and Honey. I spoke to Apple support and they barely knew that an M1 native version of Chrome existed. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem - and if so, any other work arounds to allow hardware acceleration in Chrome. All things considered, I haven't seen a huge performance hit.

You should talk to Google support... Oh right, never mind.

Hi there - I'm encountering a similar issue on Chrome, brand new 2020 M1 Air. Many of my plugins (LastPass) and text form fields are garbling text and unicode. problem is momentarily solved by turning hardware acceleration off. The problem comes back after a day or so. Did you figure out a fix for your chrome issue?

Best way to fix the problem would be to ditch Chrome (make sure to remove the Keystone stuff) and use Safari, or Edge. Chrome has basically become malware at this point in time eating unnecessary CPU cycles and battery life.
