Since I had to revert to the Trusty stack (both kernel and xorg) because
of stability issues, here's my current chrome://gpu output with default
hardware acceleration enabled (without ignoring gpu blacklist). This
shows the original problem, in a nutshell.
Upgrading to the xenial stack is a no-go,
Thing is, the apparent symptom is fixed, but video acceleration is still
missing in comparison to chromium-browser 53; the black screen in
chromium is a known bug that appears when hardware acceleration via
"ignore gpu blacklist" is enabled (visible as well in version 53).
What's happening in versi
Well hw-accelerated video decoding is not available on linux, that’s
expected:
« Accelerated video decode is unavailable on Linux: 137247
Disabled Features: accelerated_video_decode »
I’m going to close this bug, as the original symptom was "fixed". Please
file a separate bug report for the issue
Here it is:
chrome://gpu with "hardware acceleration when available" turned on.
Despite the seemingly available flags, Google Street View show a black
screen, and YouTube video acceleration doesn't work as it used to.

My bad, you're right; the perils of bug reporting before coffee.
I'll post the file tonight, after setting the configuration to the
mentioned state.
Thanks for taking the time to review this report!

@indigocat: the output of chrome://gpu says: "GPU process was unable to
boot: GPU access is disabled in chrome://settings."
Try opening chrome://settings and under advanced settings, in the
"system" section, turn hardware acceleration back on?
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
Statu
I reinstalled the OS yesterday, with the default stack (kernel 3.19 and
the Vivid xorg), but the output is still the same.

I'm seeing the same on a laptop running trusty with an intel GM965 GPU.
Version 53 has hardware-accelerated support for most graphic features,
version 58 doesn't.
The "problems detected" section of chrome://gpu says:
