I just installed the "normal" Chrome version from Google (version
43.0.2357.125 (64-bit)) just to notice that GPU acceleration seems to
work with this browser. I'll attach the chrome://gpu/ flags from the
normal Chrome browser here as well:

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.
  I had no problem with previous chromium version.

  Console output:

  jose@jose:~$ chromium-browser

  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.
