Hello all,
(cc'ing everybody who I think might care - please ignore if you don't)
Chromium [as of 71] now defaults to software rendering when it detects the nouveau driver. This is bad for the ARM ecosystem, since it is the only driver we have for NVIDIA hardware, and it has fewer issues than AMD GPU drivers + hardware running on ARM systenms.

It can be addressed by setting the 'ignore-gpu-blacklist' option, but this requires an explicit action from the user, which is unfortunate and undesirable.
Is there any way we can influence this?
