Usually it's hardware acceleration related. Can you try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration/GPU related flags in chrome://flags and see whether some of them will fix the problem?

Disabling Hardware-accelerated video decode fixed the problem, thanks!

[Flashbin]

@wchen342 Ah sorry, celebrated too soon. It fixed it on Youtube, but not on other sites, for example Twitter. I've also tried other hardware acceleration flags, but none helepd.

Seems to be the same problem as bromite/bromite/issues/1005. Will update the patch next version.

The temporary solution is to disable vulkan or enable the AIMageReader flag.

A new version has been published. Please try and see whether it fixes the problem.

@wchen342 Version 90.0.4430.212 fixes the issue, works on Youtube and Twitter with HW-Acceleration enabled. Thanks!
