One thing to try is to go to Chrome's settings, search for "hardware", and uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available". That uses a different code path (X CopyRects instead of OpenGL calls) that might be faster. As for *why* it's different, blame any of bugs in the port, bugs in the drivers, X's design, or anything else of your choosing. :) On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 8:12 PM, Yuri <yuri@rawbw.com> wrote: > I open any place in Google maps, then select street view, then move the > image with mouse. > > Chrome does this worse than firefox.
