However, I have tried the both version of 3.0(beta and stable) intensively, found that the problem I reported on #10 still existed(I wrongly believed that the beta version of 3.0 eliminated this problem). The solution is just as you suggested, disable hardware acceleration.
But if I did disabled hardware acceleration, then when I play a 1080p video on Youtube, the usage of CPU will raise rapidly from 10% to 30%; with hardware acceleration ON, the usage of CPU almost remained unchanged. And if the video playing on secondary monitor, the browser will be retarded.
So sadly, I have to downgraded to 2.8.5.75 again. Which I can turn on the hardware acceleration, and play the HD video on my secondary monitor, the browser still works fine.
I realized that the "popup video player" of 2.8.5.75 is different from the one used in 2.9 and 3.0. The newer player in 2.9 and 3.0 are more convenient on controlling, but it got the "hardware acceleration" under the circumstances of dual monitors.
So may I ask if you could release a special version of 2.8.5.75 with the updated chromium kernel version, or an alternative version of 3.0 which occupied the old "popup video player" as 2.8? Cent surely is the best browser I ever used, I really want to stay with it. Thanks again.
For this issue, can you file a bug on https://bugs.chromium.org?
There is more advanced video popup script for Youtube:
