Youtube video freezes until I move my mouse- Chrome/ium

It is happening to me either in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.

How to fix: Disable the hardware acceleration in your browser:

• Chromium/Chrome.
• Search 'hardware'.
• Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
• Restart browser.

Best regards.

I found a fix without any throwbacks!

It's sufficient to start chromium with the flag --disable-gpu-vsync and the problem completely goes away.

It's possible to make chromium start with this flag by default, just execute this command in the terminal, restart chrome and the issue will be gone forever:

sudo sh -c 'echo "CHROMIUM_FLAGS=--disable-gpu-vsync" > /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-gpufix'
