Moved from Technology News.

 

An article on hardware acceleration and how to disable it is more a guide than news, so fits better here.

It also causes various problems for Firefox on some machines, such as increasing the load time, scroll up/down lagging, desktop freeze, etc. 

It is on by default and should be turned off manually when necessary.

Your headline forgot the "In Chrome" part. The article is strictly for Chrome and gives no advice on disabling hardware acceleration anywhere else. Would have been nice to know that before clicking on it.
