When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

@yochananmarqos: The package was automatically downgraded after Google pulled 99.0.4844.51 from the stable channel of their repository… As we're just re-packaging the Debian version this package follows the most recent version available in the official repo… That one downgraded between Mar 2, 2022 1:43 PM and 2:10 PM UTC…

Current state as of 4:10 PM UTC is still v98:

Package: google-chrome-stable
Version: 98.0.4758.102-1

(Still it's indeed an interesting question why v99 was pulled from the stable channel…)

@luzifer: Why did you revert back to 98?

Is anyone experiencing the issue where on anything after Version 94.0.4606.71 in XFCE you lose the ability to adjust the window size on the sides of the window and you can only do so from the corners?

mattj commented on 2022-02-05 22:08 (UTC)

With chrome 98.0.4758.80-1, Wayland, and the flags --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-zero-copy --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-accelerated-video-decode --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --password-store=kwallet5 the window zooms in about 4x on start after being interacted with. Anybody else getting this?

BachoSeven commented on 2022-02-05 12:58 (UTC)

Thanks for finding that out, @koshikas!

anyone else experiencing video-acceleration disabled since new chrome-98

Contents of chrome://gpu: Video Decode: Hardware accelerated

Video Acceleration Information Decoding (Legacy VideoDecodeAccelerator)
Decode h264 baseline 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels Decode h264 main 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels Decode h264 high 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels

but under developer tools and intel_gpu_top no hardware acceleration is utilized.

EDIT; adding --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder got the hardware acceleration working again. now the Video Acceleration Information reads as;

Video Acceleration Information Decoding (VideoDecoder) Decode h264 baseline 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels Decode h264 main 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels Decode h264 high 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels Decoding (Legacy VideoDecodeAccelerator)

@ryuukk Chrome on Linux can only use HW acceleration if using an extension like NotYetAV1 or enhanced-h264ify.

ryuukk commented on 2022-01-30 02:16 (UTC)

Please update it so the process starts with:

google-chrome-stable --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder

by default, so we get video decode HW accelerated by default, that should be the default that everyone should expect

otherwise people think linux is trash because no HW accell for videos, it feels bad

luzifer commented on 2022-01-29 15:09 (UTC)

@H0301ein hmm looks like the flag might does no harm (cannot test it myself) but that would be the first flag the package itself overrides from the default distribution… At moment the browser is delivered as Google packages it (with minor patches to the desktop file which I'm also hesitant to implement) while it allows users to override flags themselves using a simple config file. Looking at the chromium package the flag is set to its default value too. Therefore following this chain of arguments I'd not override that flag in the package itself. Every user can set the flag easily in their ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf and we're not sticking to an old patch when upstream changes the default value of that flag…
