Google Chrome 61 slow, how to fix

After updating to Chrome 61, I instantly noticed that YouTube became slow, and Google Maps – particularly Street View – became so slow it’s unusable. I went back to Firefox Developer 57, but then I missed Chrome’s search capabilities.

I found out that the problem is the HTML5 canvas, and the fix is rather easy: just disable this flag in Chrome flag page:

chrome://flags/#enable-color-correct-rendering

Instantly all the sites became responsive again.
