I posted above with the same bug on an Nvidia card. On that machine, reverting to chromium-browser 41.0.2272.76-0ubuntu1.1134 brings back working WebGL.
I also confirm the same problem on a Lenovo X220 with Intel graphics, also Ubuntu 15.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 Title: Chromium 43 fails to use hardware acceleration Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing package chromium-browser 43.0.2357.81-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1089 hardware acceleration becomes disabled.
