Transparency font rendering issues in Chrome - google-chrome

EDIT/Solved: This seems to have mysteriously solved itself. I am still running the same Chrome build, same machine, and I have not rebuilt the SWF. The only difference I can thing of has been closing the browser and hibernating over night ...
I am having problems in Chrome with the rendering of a Label in ButtonBarButton, and I am trying to find a way to work around it (unsuccessfully). As you can see, transparency is generally working - the background of the unselected tab has alpha=0, so it is just the area around the font causing problems.
Does anyone know of a workaround? Verified as problem in Chrome on both Windows and OS X. All other browsers displays the tab fine, which is not surprising given that Chrome ships with its own Flash plugin ...
A correct rendering of the transparent tab in Firefox
Chrome's rendering of the same thing
Using OS X 10.6.8, Flex SDK 4.6, FlashBuilder 4.7, Firefox 18.02, Chrome 24.0.1312.57.
All as updated as can be as of February 2013.

This might be another problem with Chrome's buggy Pepper Flash player. It has many issues. You can confirm if Pepper Flash is the problem by disabling it. When you do that, Chrome will use the more standard Flash plugin, which should also be installed.
To disable it go to: chrome://plugins
Click the plus icon (details icon) and find the Flash plugins. Disable the one that has "PepperFlash" in the path.
Pepper Flash is a great idea, but its not quite as stable as the regular flash plugin.

Mac M1 Processor + Chrome Browser v105 = Inconsistent HTML5 Canvas Element

TL;DR Canvas Elements not showing up for some sites and does show for others. How can I have it show consistently?
I have a 2021 Macbook Pro with an Apple M1 Pro processor. I use Chrome Browser v105.0. On some sites that use the HTML5 canvas element, I am able to see stuff being drawn on the canvas but for other sites, the canvas element is clearly there but nothing is drawn on it. I tried playing with the chrome://flags that have to do with GPU and Canvas by switching them on and off to see if I can get Canvas Elements showing up consistently and now they do show for the sites that it was not working for but only after refreshing the page.
Has any one experienced this before and if so, is there a way that I can have canvas elements show consistently without all the workaround?
I am experiencing the same issue with HTML5 canvas on Chrome M1, seems to be related to Apple Silicon (M1) + Chrome 105 because it's working fine on Chrome v105, on a Windows/MacOs Intel computer. It is fixable (on your client only) by disabling the 'Out-of-process 2D canvas rasterization' flag on chrome://flags. Still waiting Google to fix this issue as it is a breaking issue.
Edit : tested on Chrome Beta (v106.0.5249.30) and the issue is still present
We experience the same problem (only with the Apple M1 processor, Apple M2 not tested). We developed an app using the canvas element. It worked fine with Apple M1 and Chrome (till v104). When Chrome v105 was launched the problem started and the canvas element didn't draw anything anymore. The problem only occurs when the flag accelerated 2d canvas is enabled. When this flag is disabled the canvas works fine again. This is a breaking issue and should be fixed by Google. Everything works fine in the latest version of Safari and Firefox with acceleration enabled.
The problem is fixed with Google Chrome v107. Topic can close.

Chrome update forcing darkmode on websites

I was wondering if any of you on windows 11 (with dark theme on windows) with google chrome had some issues about Chrome forcing darkmode on every website. Because since few hours all my website are "dark" with just a basic swap from balck to white done by Chrome.
When I diseable dark theme of W11 it does solve the problem, and on other browsers it works as well. So it's all about Chrome and the new update.
Is there a way to diseable this new feature when coding a new website because this is a serious problem if some clients are in this case ? And i wonder if some of you recreate this bug ?
Completely remove the Adobe Acrobat Extension for now from your browser. This seems to cause the issue.
Just update the adobe acrobat extension, it started working now.
ShadowMare answer did fix that issue perfectly by removing Adobe Acrobat Extension then everything will be fine.

Google Chrome does not tile in Awesome WM

I cannot make Google Chrome tile correctly in Awesome WM (version 4.3 in Debian 10 & 11). Chrome's window stops responding, or goes blank, if it is resized (a new tile is added next to it, or a tile is closed/minimized), or when it's open in floating mode.
This weird behavior started with the recent version of Chrome (probably, 86). Only Chrome is affected, Firefox and all other applications I use work without problems.
I tried running Chrome with debug log, but there is nothing helpful there. No error messages appear, neither in journalctl nor in ~/.xsession-errors.
Did anyone experience anything like this before?
The problem was resolved after disabling "hardware acceleration" in Chrome. Seems like this feature didn't work well on my system (intel hd graphics 4400 and Awesome WM).

Black screen in chrome after sleep

I'm experiencing black screen in google chrome (and a lot more...read below) after waking windows 10 up from sleep mode.
This issue appears in google chrome and all derived applications, in few words I'm experiencing this in:
Google chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (pretty sure i was having this issue also before)
The new Microsoft Edge browser based on chromium
All the pwa (progressive web apps) installed with chrome or edge
All electron applications like:
Visual Studio Code
Whatsapp
All the Electron applications made by me.
I had this issue for a long time but the spreading of chrome based services is going to make this thing a lot annoying...
I'm using Windows 10 1909 home 64 bit (pretty sure I was having this issue also in windows 10 1903)
WORKAROUND: if in google chrome (or edge chromium) i keep a tab that in the closing prompts a javascript alert, in the moment when the alert is prompted, the issue is gone, the black screen is gone and i can return to see the whole tabs.
So after waking up windows 10 from sleep mode, if i see black screen in the browser i can just close it with the cross in the top right corner, in that moment the alert is prompted "are you sure to leave this page?", i answer "no i want to stay in this page" and the issue is gone.
Of course this is a workaround cause you can forget to keep that site in the tabs of chrome/edge, and this doesn't resolve the issue in visual studio code.
Starting google-chrome with the --use-gl=desktop seems to work with no side effects.
I had same issue with Fedora, Chrome and NVIDA drivers. At first I tried enbling the vulkan flag.
Go to chrome://flags and enable ignore-gpu-blacklist and enable-vulkan. However, Chrome performance suffers and others have pointed out with this settings.
Found the vulkan tip in a comment here. The use-gl-desktop tip here

How do I debug Silverlight not working in Firefox/chrome/Safari?

I have a problem where a Silverlight system I have developed is working perfectly in Internet Explorer but not at all in Chrome or Firefox
I have no idea where to start to try to figure out what the problem is?
Chrome just says Cannot load Silverlight plugin which is obviously useless from a debugging point of view
Firefox just displays the container page
I have used firebug and interestingly Firefox makes no attempt to download the xap files?
This is a major issue and any pointers would be very helpful!
The application does make use of Prism which may be something to do with it
