Yes, Google, that's because you've blacklisted my perfectly good graphics driver and broken it for me (Chrome/Linux/Nvidia). Well played. How about next time you give ME that choice?

(I know about the workarounds. It's not my machine, I don't have root or sudo, and I can't be bothered to find out where Chrome is hidden on this mess of NFS-mounted filesystems. It used to work, now it doesn't. Story of the web.)

There is a flag to unblacklist your graphics driver in chrome. I have had to use it when experimenting with WebGL.

Go to chrome://flags and enable Override software rendering list.
