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.
  I had no problem with previous chromium version.

  Problems Detected
  GPU process was unable to boot: GPU access is disabled in chrome://settings.
  Disabled Features: all

  Actually GPU access is *not* disabled from settings. 

  Workarounds like "--disable-gpu-sandbox" or "LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1"
  didn't helped at all.
