### How can I see more verbose logs?

As a temporary workaround there is a possibility to disable Chromium GPU acceleration. To do this for Lens, you need to provide `LENS_DISABLE_GPU=true` env variable and relaunch app.
First, open `.bash_profile` file from your terminal
```
open -a TextEdit.app ~/.bash_profile
```
Then, add this line
```
export LENS_DISABLE_GPU=true
```
