This is a spin off from issue 618858. The fix for 618858 Will prevent crashes from occuring after a GPU context reset. However, we should try to prevent GPU resets from happening in the first place.
Chrome M51-M53 is experiencing frequent GPU resets on http://slither.io, probably due to GPU resource exhaustion. This website creates thousands of canvases, which is probably part of the problem. It is not clear whether it is GPU-backed canvases that are the problem, or SW-backed canvases cached on the GPU. We should mitigate both vectors.
