Henk, that was a sharp piece of thinking: Disabling Chrome hardware
acceleration does indeed work around the problem!
Once the problem is known to be related to hardware acceleration, a
Google search on:
"web browser" "hardware acceleration" bug
produces many relevant results. For instance, this March 14, 2014
article: Video Acceleration Takes The Backseat On Chrome For Linux

Have you tried to switch off hardware acceleration under advanced

Hi, all.
With an Intel 82Q963/Q965 integrated video chipset using the
default-selection i915 driver under 14.04.1, I find that the mouse
pointer freezes in Chrome in certain web sites. It "reliably" does
this in the Chrome Web Store, for instance.
I have no other solution at that point than to use the keyboard to
reboot.
Firefox does not have the same problem. And if I use a different
video card, Chrome does not have the problem.
Anyone recognize the problem and have a workaround?

I filed a bug report at Issue 445768

but I'm still looking for help with a workaround.
