I am on MIUI 11 and after recent update of chrome, I notice laggy behaviour in Chrome, especially when scrolling. After uninstalling update lags are much lesser and then when I update again, issue comes up too.

Is anyone else experiencing same issue?

Don't really want to say that this is an solution. It's more like a workaround until it gets fixed.

You can put Chrome in your "game booster" under security app.
When I do that, the stutter is gone for me then.

Under chrome://flags/ deactivate "use Android Servicecontrol" and scrolling becomes muuuuuuuch smoooootheeeer
The actual name is "Use Android SurfaceControl" and with it disabled UFO FPS Test started showing screen HZ values instead of something about 40 FPS with DC Dimming on, so it means Chrome now uses all screen HZ, thanks.

I have the same issue. New version of Chrome doesn't have "Use Android SurfaceControl" option so I can't disable it. Does anyone know any other way to disable Android SurfaceControl in Chrome?

Try to disable DC on display settings. It's working for me to make Chrome scrolling smooth !

This worked wonders! I was so annoyed by the laggy chrome experience because everything else works fine on my 120Hz device. Only chrome looked so laggy. Do we know why does this happen in the first place?

    That's not solution because my eyes hurt when DC dimming is off.

    I've scrolled through the long list of flags, cannot see that one.
    chrome://flags/
    Android SurfaceControl
    #enable-surface-control
    →DISABLED←
    Profit.

    Disabling this flag worked perfectly until it was removed from one of the previous versions of chrome, but, as I can see myself, it is back again for now.
