Weird page flicker on macOS 10.15.2 with chrome 79 (latest)
I'm getting weird screen flickering on apple.com specifically. I can't seem to find another website where chrome has this issue, it's quite weird!
I've tried running incognito so my extensions would not interfere, but it doesn't change anything. Running on an external monitor or the retina display does not change anything, happens either way. I have tested Safari and FireFox so this appears to be Chrome specific.
I've recorded my screen, please see my video, it shows what happens. Mainly around the top area near the bookmark icon and navbar

Chrome version : Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit)
macOS version: 10.15.2
I understand this is a little strange. I even asked a friend with the exact same macOS version and Chrome version, he does not have that issue at all so it might not even be a bug in either.
What might cause this and how would I fix it?
So after encountering a few other websites that caused me some trouble
Like any of the following (and apple.com)
- https://obsidian.md/
- https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ipad/
- https://www.windowscentral.com/how-determine-graphics-card-windows-10
I was able to fix it by enabling hardware Acceleration
Go to Chrome > Settings > Advanced > Enable Hardware Acceleration
I opened a chromium bug report https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1094727
