A comment on Chromium blacklists Nouveau.

As a Linux user, I am happy about this change because Nouveau is just not an acceptable driver.

I hope that this puts pressure on both Nvidia and Ubuntu to have a better default.

Agreed. It's very easy to install the proprietary driver in Ubuntu and in my experience it Just Works™. Why not default to that? The vast majority of Ubuntu users aren't open source evangelists who'd choose to use an inferior driver purely for ideological reasons.
