It takes copious free time to learn how to run chromium with an --ignore-gpu-blacklist argument? What kind of strawman are you trying here?
Look. The open source NVIDIA driver is terrible, and Google doesn't want it messing up the experience of the people using its product. Who are you to demand that Google fix someone else's terrible driver (which is terrible through no fault of Google's -- NVIDIA would prefer it not exist at all)?
If you really cared about this at all, you'd be upset with NVIDIA. But you're not. You apparently don't even like open source software, which presumably means you're using the binary drivers and unaffected, right?
