Are you using UM 16.04? Did you install through the Software Boutique?

Hi,

Yes I use UM 16.04. And yes, I have installed it through the Software Boutique. I clear the Google Chrome cache but the problem persists.

Do you have hardware acceleration set to “on” in Chrome’s settings? Try turning it off

Code:
free -m

What graphics and driver do you run?

I had issues with both Chrome and Chromium using the Nouveau drivers, switching to the Nvidia “proprietary” drivers was a better solution for me than turning off hardware acceleration. YMMV.
