Distorted font in Chrome Ubuntu - google-chrome

I just updated chrome on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Most of the font on pages opened in Chrome looks distorted. Anyone having same issues?

Try to install the Chromium Browser.
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
The Chromium Browser runs like Google Chrome.
Make a test and tell us how the fonts are exhibited.
Bye.

ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported

I'm trying to open google chrome from terminal in Ubuntu but after submiting google-chrome I'm getting this error:
ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported
I've installed it by following this tutorial: https://itsfoss.com/install-chrome-ubuntu/
I've looked at this but it didn't help me How to open google chrome from terminal?
Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?
Thanks!
I just ran
sudo apt list --upgradable
Chrome was one of the upgradable list, then ran the command
sudo apt upgrade
I had the same problem, updating the GPU drivers resolved the problem.
I installed Chromium via Snap instead (sudo snap install chromium). I get the same error message, but the browser appears to be running correctly anyway. I'd still like to know what it means and how to fix it....

Google Chrome - always openning as a Karma window

So the funny moment.
I tested my app and ran tests on Karma + Jasmine before commit with Husky tool. Once Chrome got stuck and after reboot system Chrome always opens as a new Karma window in incognito mode. The Chrome icon is renamed too.
I tried to reinstall Chrome but issue still exists. I have:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
So I can I revert changes and get back my lovely Chrome?
Ok, so Karma has configurations in ~/.local/share/applicaitons. It lock the Chrome and creates a karma-<random-numbers> test kit in tmp folder.
To fix it
cd ~/.local/share/applicaitons
rm google-chrome.desktop

Chrome version mismatch?

I have Google Chrome ver. 41.0.2272.118 and I decided to upgrade it.
I've dowloaded latest version of Google Chrome version 46.0.2490.86 :
Got:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main google-chrome-stable amd64 46.0.2490.86-1 [47,3 MB]
Then I check version from console:
maxim#maxim:/opt/google/chrome$ ./google-chrome -version
Google Chrome 46.0.2490.86
But when I run it
maxim#maxim:/opt/google/chrome$ ./google-chrome
and check About, it still show 41.0.2272.118
What did I do wrong?
I also had this similar problem on Linux Mint. I found the following solution to work.
Close all Chrome sessions
Update google-chrome using apt-get as you have done above
Move the config files from ~/.config/google-chrome to ~/.config/bkp_google-chrome
Start google-chrome and the new version should now be started.
Please note this will erase all your history, bookmarks etc

Chrome with VLC Web Plugin

Hi I'm working in a project that I need to run a video on Firefox and Chrome, so I install the "VLC Web Plugin" and it is run correctly on Firefox, but I can not install it on Chrome.
I try to install the "ubuntu-extras-restricted" package, install VLC full, install "browser-plugin-vlc" package, but nothing worked for Chrome.
How do install "VLC Web Plugin" for Chrome on Ubuntu?
I read in some places that you can not install "VLC Web Plugin" for Chrome on Ubuntu. It is true?
Configuration:
Chrome: 37.0.2062.120 (Versão oficial 281580)
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Chromium not playing mp3?

For some reason, the same mp3 files :
http > my.mp3
https> same.mp3
plays on Firefox, and doesn't play on Chromium Version 37.0.2062.94 Ubuntu 14.04 (290621) (64-bit). Using the Code inspector, I see no feedbacks in the console.
What is going wrong ? How to make it work ?
As a not completely free format, Mp3 is not supported by Chromium out of the box. See http://www.chromium.org/audio-video
Solutions:
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree
Windows: see How do I add MP3, MP4 and H.264 support to Chromium on Windows?
