If you still don't get any results, check if hardware-acceleration is enabled in Chromium settings, Google tends to disable this setting by default since version 43. In this case that was the problem for me after I updated GPU drivers, overrode the GPU blacklist, and so and so.

Maybe too old your video driver or not installed properly.

I had same problem too, but this solution fixed my problem without overrides!

1. To add PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10

   Ubuntu 14.04 / 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10 users, Run the following command in the terminal and type the password for the user when prompted. Others use the Ubuntu-X PPA.

   sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

2. To add PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 / 11.10 / 11.04 / 10.04

   sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

   After adding the PPA, update your system repository.

3. To Update

   sudo apt-get update

   Now install the NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver 304.108 in your system, as you install other packages by using apt-get.

4. To Install

   sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

   Above command will install the driver.

using chromium Version 49.0.2623.108 on Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).

What we need to activate is #ignore-gpu-blacklist

It's the first line in chrome://flags/

Hope it can help,
