I am running Ubuntu 16.04
I started running whatsapp web for chrome today and the screen is constantly flickering.
It didn't happen earlier. Also it doesn't happen with Windows.
Why is it happening?

This answer fixed it for me: https://askubuntu.com/a/768112/190333
I disabled hardware acceleration for my browser from Settings > Advance Settings > System > uncheck the hardware acceleration
This is something to do with hardware accelleration on Ubuntu. In my case I am running 17.10 and using an NVIDIA card.
I switched to a machine with the exact same card and driver, but running Debian 8, and the problem did not exist.
So while we have a fix, this indicates a problem unique to Ubuntu + Chrome, and not the video drivers specifically.
