I recently updated Google Chrome to the 61.0.3163.79 version and it was suddenly very slow with canvas. This issue only appears on Linux.
For exemple, .js/ was 60 FPS before the Chrome update, and now it run at 2 FPS.
What's wrong with the new Google Chrome update ?
P.S: Chromium 61.0.3163.79 works fine on my computer.

- Works for me ;-) Have you tried restarting Chrome, and/or your machine? Does about:gpu indicate anything's wrong? Have there been any other package updates at the same time? – jmrk Commented Sep 8, 2017 at 17:51
- This issue also appears on Windows to me. And the accepted answer also worked. – rodrigocfd Commented Oct 8, 2017 at 13:35

Reset to default 14I found workaround. After upgrade Chrome to 61 version I faced same experience with you.
Try adjust following chrome flag to Disabled.
chrome://flags/#enable-color-correct-rendering
I expect Default flag have different means with before 61 version. Below the result is in my case on attached url from you.
Default - 5 fps
Disabled - 35 fps
I wish this help you.
The enable-color-correct-rendering flag does not exist after upgrade to Chromium 62.
Fortunately the slowness disappeared after setting flag chrome://flags/#force-color-profile to sRGB as mentioned on google forums
Tested on Chromium 62.0.3202.75, 64-bit, Linux
The solution for me was disabling Use hardware acceleration when available setting:
Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings > Scroll down to "System" > Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available"

I had the same problem with Version 69.0.3497.81 (Official Build) (64-bit).
I tried all already proposed combinations of enabling/disabling features from chrome://flags. But they didn't work for me.
To me helped enabling of these 2 flags:
- chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist
- chrome://flags/#enable-draw-occlusion
Improved performance of canvas 2D renderings dramatically
