Chromium is still screwing up on this URL:
www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/geo/#/animation?satellite=goes-west&end_datetime=latest&
n_images=8&coverage=conus&channel=04&image_quality=gif&anim_method=javascript
which seems to load ok but locks up the machine or crashes Xorg if I try to
drag the image. Both Raspbian and Chromium are up to date as of this morning,
using apt-get.

In this case the Xorg log file ended with

[    27.718] (II) modeset(0): Disabling kernel dirty updates, not required.
[ 30516.448] (WW) glamor: Failed to allocate 1382x910 FBO due to
GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
[ 30516.449] (WW) glamor: Expect reduced performance.

Would anybody be willing to see if they can reproduce the problem before I
start pestering folks about a bug?

Firefox-ESR seems to load the page OK, but it's slower than chromium and sound
doesn't
work, so it's a poor alternative.

Thanks for reading!
