4Hint: in Ubuntu for sure (windows also most likely) you will need to be sure to kill the background threads (chrome) as well before the changes will take effect. Jan 21, 2014 at 14:15

1for some reason this does not help me to enable webgl in Chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit) under ubuntu *(– SETAug 29, 2014 at 19:27
If you still don't get any results, check if hardware-acceleration is enabled in Chromium settings, Google tends to disable this setting by default since version 43. In this case that was the problem for me after I updated GPU drivers, overrode the GPU blacklist, and so and so.

4Same here. I thought I was seeing some terrible bug but didn't realize chrome://settings -> Show advanced settings... -> Use hardware acceleration when available somehow got disabled. I flipped it on, restarted the browser, and everything works. Jul 12, 2015 at 6:13

Maybe too old your video driver or not installed properly.
I had same problem too, but this solution fixed my problem without overrides!
To add PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10
Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10 users, Run the following command in the terminal and type the password for the user when prompted. Others use the Ubuntu-X PPA.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
To add PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 / 11.10 / 11.04 / 10.04
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
After adding the PPA, update your system repository.
To Update
sudo apt-get update
Now install the NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver 304.108 in your system, as you install other packages by using apt-get.
To Install
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
Above command will install the driver.

I's using this solution on my desktop for a week, but my Chrome sometimes eat all CPU (the "GPU process" task). - I have Ubuntu Trusty with "GeForce 8400 GS Rev. 2" - I can not found solution for this side effect, only I have a workaround: Turn on "Disable accelerated 2D canvas" option in chrome://flags/ ...

using chromium Version 49.0.2623.108 on Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).
What we need to activate is #ignore-gpu-blacklist
It's the first line in chrome://flags/
Hope it can help,
I had the issue that WebGL was reported as unavailable after switching from the proprietary Nvidia to the nouveau drivers, a change which does not seem to have been picked up in the chromium GPU config of my profile. The fix is running chromium-browser --single-process once to reset the GPU configuration.
If you have tried the things posted above and it is still not working, try using different drivers. Go to Software And Updates and there select Additional Drivers. Then select either the middle option or the last one (either Proprietary Binary or Nuveau). In my case I selected Proprietary Binary, but it got reverted to Nuveau and now I have WebGL enabled..
