So before I just switch to Firefox, figured I'd ask for some help.

I have two monitors, and I tend to have youtube playing on my secondary monitor. Chrome at some point in the last 6-12 months decided to start getting extremely choppy when playing youtube videos when I'm not focusing on the window. I've googled it a bit and the issue seems to be tied to hardware acceleration, which seems to be accurate - when I disable it, the problem goes away. It seems to be more of a problem when I'm focusing on another chrome window compared to playing a game/etc.

The issue is that web games and several other things I do on Chrome really *do need hardware acceleration* so disabling it isn't really a feasible fix. Any other options for dealing with this? I generally prefer Chrome over FF but this is a reasonably common irritation.
