Reported by weber.ma...@gmail.com, Mar 23 2017

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a website with WebGL like http://webglreport.com/

What is the expected behavior?
WebGL should be working / supported, but the webglreport says "This browser supports WebGL 1, but it is disabled or unavailable."

What went wrong?
WebGL is not working.

I have an old notebook a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 with a 'NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB' graphics card. With this hardware I can not upgrade to macOS Sierra (10.12).

I'm sorry, but the drivers on these older GPUs were too unstable and Chrome has had to blacklist WebGL support on them. about:gpu information would confirm why. (You should always include this in bug reports.)

Sorry, but this is working as intended and I'm closing this as WontFix. You may be able to get things working again with the command line argument --ignore-gpu-blacklist, but this is not a supported configuration. I recommend you upgrade your hardware.
