Youtube video freezes until I move my mouse- Chrome/ium

I am Ubuntu 18.04 lts Budgie, and somehow whenever I am not moving my mouse, either on fullscreen or not, the video freezes, until I move my mouse again. It happens all the time, on Chrome and Chromium.

I do have Nvidia proprietary driver installed.

Someone asked something similar but for Ubuntu 11, and It's a bit outdated.

Edit: it doesn't happen on Firefox from what I have seen so far.

Thanks in advance :)

It is happening to me either in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.

How to fix: Disable the hardware acceleration in your browser:

• Chromium/Chrome.
• Search 'hardware'.
• Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
• Restart browser.

Best regards.

I found a fix without any throwbacks!

It's sufficient to start chromium with the flag --disable-gpu-vsync and the problem completely goes away.

It's possible to make chromium start with this flag by default, just execute this command in the terminal, restart chrome and the issue will be gone forever:

sudo sh -c 'echo "CHROMIUM_FLAGS=--disable-gpu-vsync" > /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/10-gpufix'
