Details

The upstream Chrome release has included ANGLE, its GLES implementation, into the package since v81. Their long-term path seems to be using ANGLE on all platforms in order to have all driver bug workarounds in one place [1] (although unfortunately, it is a bug about a regression).

It would be a good idea if we also include ANGLE in our build, to make it more consistent with upstream in terms of any gfx-related behaviors.

Adding lib{EGL,GLESv2}.so from the build artifacts should be good enough.
