Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/602.4.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0.3 Safari/602.4.8 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Install an app that notifies when your GPU changes like gfxCardStatus 2. load a map in maps.google.com 3. There is no step 3 What is the expected behavior? Every other browser I use doesn't trigger the use of discrete graphics. What went wrong? Using discrete graphics lessens battery life considerably. If I use Google maps, I have to use Safari. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 51.0.2683.0 (64-bit) Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.10.5 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0 Maybe there is a html5 feature which is being handled in Google by a GL hook when it doesn't have to. I have noot delved into the source to determine what the problem is. Embedded google maps don't appear to be a problem, although sometimes loading noaa triggers the discrete graphics momentarily (but then it switches back)

Take your pick. It's a current bug. I pasted the version where the bug reporter asked, but literally any version will do
