===== GPU acceleration on the Chromium Web browser =====

Edit /etc/chromium-browser/default like this:\\

CHROMIUM_FLAGS=" --use-gl=egl --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --num-raster-threads=2"
</code>

You can see much smoother HTML rendering.

Check "System - Use hardware acceleration when available" and restart the Chromium.\\
