[Solved] Graphics error in chrome

I notice some window tearing with chrome,

What could be causing this?

I tried many settings without being able to resolve it, As soon as I start typing a search name and results are coming back, the black triangle is showing with unavailable results.

What should I do, I tried to change some settings in xorg.conf ? but no luck...

I've added the following to the xorg.conf.d file

Section "Device"
     Identifier "amdgpu"
     Driver "amdgpu"
     Option "TearFree" "true"
     Option "DRI" "3"
     Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
     Option "VariableRefresh" "yes"
     Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection

That's not tearing, that's an outright graphics error. Likely caused by chromium's switch to the ANGLE acceleration engine, try using the

--use-gl=desktop

chromium flag
