I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, and I got this message while I am trying to post a picture on Facebook by using google chrome:

Even though I reinstalled google chrome as mentioned here. Are there any recommendations to solve this issue?

The problem doesn't occur in Firefox, and it isn't solved by logging out and logging back in again. It could be caused by one of the extensions that is installed in Chrome. Disable your Chrome extensions one by one until you isolate the extension that is causing the problem, and then re-enable all of the other installed Chrome extensions except for that one.

If that doesn't work try signing out of Facebook in Chrome, and then sign back in again with your Facebook password.

I've run into this a couple of times. Go to the Chrome browser menu (three dots on the upper right side of the address bar on mine), select

• Settings
• Advanced
• System
• Turn off "Use hardware acceleration when available"
• Restart Chrome
