Chrome lets you disable WebGL using the about:flags page.

Well, seems that in the latest versions of Chrome this flag cannot be disabled from about:flags. In order to disable it:

  • Close chrome (if running)
  • Open the terminal.
  • Type: open -a "Google Chrome" --args -disable-webgl
  • Profit!
