When watching Netflix in Ubuntu 17.10, Wayland, Firefox or Chrome and AMD Radeon R9 Nano, there is a lot of tearing. When using X.Org instead of Wayland everything works fine. I'm using graphics drivers from PPA ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers. Is there a way to get Wayland working without tearing?

Is hardware acceleration enabled in Chrome? – dobey Nov 12 '17 at 16:04

@dobey I have tested both enabled and disabled, no difference. – SurvivalMachine Nov 12 '17 at 16:06

Sounds likely to be a bug in the Wayland stack then. – dobey Nov 12 '17 at 16:07
I solved the problem by forcing acceleration to true in about:config:
layers.acceleration.force-enabled
