Chromium-based browsers are laggy on Linux but not on Windows

I have done benchmark tests and everything and Linux more or less performs the same compared to Windows on the same hardware.

But when it comes to scrolling and doing anything else, Opera and other chromium-based browsers lag on websites with a lot of content. Particularly with this website https://linuxconfig.org/benchmark-your-graphics-card-on-linux it lags a lot on Linux but is fine on Windows.

Even on Firefox that particular website does fine (other than having screentearing issues). Is there a way to solve this?

@joe232 It doesn't seem to be laggy on Vivaldi/Arch (up-to-date) run with

firejail --apparmor /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox %U

Hi, I really want to use brave and opera. Those are the main two browsers I use and this is due to a specific reason. Do you know how to solve this issue for both opera and brave?

@zibi1981 So I have copied a log from chrome://gpu/ and I pasted the contents into a document https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pT7XBCty5Ej1D3LAZnsFF9CdIq3ytEkg I am hoping if somebody can please take a look at this and tell me what is causing the lag issues.

@joe232 Rasterization not uisng hardware acceleration may be one possible cause, I guess.

@leocg Ok so when I type this into the console opera --enable-gpu-rasterization --ignore-gpu-blacklist --disable-gpu-driver-workarounds it is much smoother but it is still choppy and laggy. Do you know what else needs to be done to fix this?
