When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop.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.

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable does not strip commented lines as suggested in the Arch Wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromium#Making_flags_persistent

-CHROME_USER_FLAGS="$(cat $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chrome-flags.conf)"
+CHROME_USER_FLAGS="$(grep -v '#' $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chrome-flags.conf)"

Here is my changes in ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf to get working GPU acceleration again
- --use-gl=egl
+ --enable-gpu

As @Kandscode says, passing --gtk-version=4 crashes Chrome. Is there any workaround for that? Without that parameter, FCITX (input method editor) does not work and I cannot type CJK text.

One possible upstream report regarding scaling in Wayland: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1430500

I faced the same issue with almost no text rendering, @alki 's solution fixed it for me. Thanks alki!

P.S. this was a sign for me to switch to Vivaldi...

With chrome >= 113 I get the same wayland issue as Iyanmv already reported. I wanted to add that while it does scale incorrectly in any case, using it with KDE Plasma is particularly bad when the system window borders are enabled, because then the window is also displayed incorrectly, e.g. you can't click a link that is too far on the right side.

However, a quick search implies that it is very unlikely that the issue is caused in packaging. More likely, it's a bug either in chrome or in plasma-wayland. And since I experience the issue only with chrome and no other application, I guess it's a chrome bug.

Same issue as @kstolp and @PeterRies, and that flag works for me. From that forum linked, deleting the directory ~/.config/chromium/Default/GPUCache also resolved my issue.

I experienced the same issues as @PeterRies. (Also AMD GPU with chrome hardware acceleration enabled.) Starting chrome with --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds fixed it for me.

Fix found on forum here.
