Description:
chromium-85 is slow when opening multiple videos on youtube. there is nothing in the log files. no .config/chromium-flags.conf does exist. downgrading to chromium-84 makes it quick again. i checked the commit diff and there is one:
#[libvpx]=libvpx

can it be that this is the cause?
This task depends upon

I also noticed this with Chrome (Flatpak sandbox) running in the Sway compositor and just wanted to point out that this might not be restricted to videos and that on my system it seems to affect responsiveness and page load time when having multiple tabs and windows.
I couldn't replicate this in a clean browser environment so it's possible that having multiple extensions is also affecting the severity of this issue.
And as far as I can tell there's nothing useful in the log even when running with --enable-logging=stderr.

Note that I confirmed that this is also happening with chromium from the Extra repo, but the Chrome (Flatpak) is my daily driver.
And I should add that the first test I made is to confirm that this is not a regression of the latest xorg 1.20.9-1 packages releases but of Chrome/Chromium 85.0.4183.83-1.

from upstream, parameter --use-cmd-decoder=validating makes it work again.
