Netflix, state of the art?

Wow, that's a difference   I'm not even using any of the chromium flags either - sure there are dropped frames but it's going well enough at 1080p for casual video playback at full screen.

@hthiemann , try with unstable:

Update: Here is a comparison with the original Dockerfile that was using rockchip mesa and the one I posted above:
- Original Dockerfile using rockchip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gqC2Utn...p=drivesdk
- Dockerfile using debian unstable from above: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gmqo0AX...p=drivesdk

Removing the chromium flags file could be good as well - my chromium settings is empty.

That's amazing, thank you very much for your investigation.

I will try it later today and create an updated image if it is working as expected.
