Chrome disables WebGL 2.0 after I it was working before

google-chrome graphics-card updates intel-graphics blacklist

6,142

Update

Finally found a workaround thanks to this website

use --disable_d3d11=0 when starting Chrome, for example my shortcut now is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable_d3d11=0

Have this issue as well, the "official" reason as seen in this file is:

{
  "id": 112,
  "description": "Intel HD 3000 driver crashes frequently on Mac",
  "cr_bugs": [592130, 661596],
  "os": {
    "type": "macosx"
  },
  "vendor_id": "0x8086",
  "device_id": ["0x0116", "0x0126"],
  "multi_gpu_category": "any",
  "features": [
    "all"
  ]
}

But it specifically list only macosx so no clue why it is blocked on windows... really annoying.

I have a Dell Vostro with Intel HD Graphics 3000,

I use this computer from time to time when I don't have aceess to my main laptop (an HP with AMD radeon),

But today I was chocked when a toy webgl 2 project I tried to run, which was working 2 or 3 months ago could not get a webgl2 context.

I spend the whole day investigating everything.

I checked if my driver got updated with windows, ... no, can I update it ? no update available.

Which leads me to think that chrome blacklisted this device in the span of time that I stopped using this laptop (if so ... why ?, and how can I revert it, webgl2 used to work fine, at least for the subset I was using [vao, samplers, uniform objects, glsl es 3.0])

Here is the chrome://gpu report
