Chrome with graphic problems

I installed KDE NEon latest on my newly bought PC (with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphic card if this helps).

The problem is, that chrome (v131) isn’t usable. It starts and looks good at first, but I have a hughe latency on keyboard input when typing. Sometimes even a random pipe symbol appears (but only in address bar). Also sometimes mouse hover effects over html elements or other animations are bugged/flickering. Or on on typing in this textarea, the addressbar gets a border for 0.5 seconds. I am not sure, how to describe it properly. There a so many weired (graphic?) bugs. Or this:

All of this is only happening on Chrome so far. Firefox is working. But I need chrome as an webdev as well.

What I have already tried:

  • I tried to install both - from Discover as a flatpak as well as directly as a deb from Google.
  • I disabled Harddware acceleration in chrome settings.
  • Since I had graphic problems from the start, I installed the latest 560.35.03 nvidia drivers and now most problems are gone. Tried 555 and 550 with same issues.

Any ideas?

Well. I solved. Since Chrome had no problems in a X11 Session, there has to be a problem with wayland.

Open chrome://flags/ and set the Ozone platform to Wayland and all problems seems to be gone.
