Hello, since the update, it would appear that the WebGL tab has been changed. It may read as WebGL Draft Extensions.
I have found this article on enabling WebGL in your browser. Here are the main steps as explained in the article:
First, enable hardware acceleration:
Go to chrome://settings
Go to chrome://flags
[Try this if above doesn't work] Enable - Override software rendering list
Then inspect the status of WebGL:
Go to chrome://gpu
Hardware accelerated — WebGL is enabled and hardware-accelerated (running on the graphics card).
Go to chrome://flags
Hope this helps
I have found this article on enabling WebGL in your browser. Here are the main steps as explained in the article:
First, enable hardware acceleration:
Go to chrome://settings
- Click the Advanced ▼ button at the bottom of the page
- In the System section, ensure the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox is checked (you'll need to relaunch Chrome for any changes to take effect)
- Then enable WebGL:
Go to chrome://flags
- Ensure that Disable WebGL is not activated (you'll need to relaunch Chrome for any changes to take effect)
- In newer versions, this option of Disable WebGL will not be available, you will instead have to search for WebGL 2.0 (or WebGL Draft Extensions).
- Here you will have to change Default to Enabled in the drop down.
[Try this if above doesn't work] Enable - Override software rendering list
Then inspect the status of WebGL:
Go to chrome://gpu
- Inspect the WebGL item in the Graphics Feature Status list. The status will be one of the following:
Hardware accelerated — WebGL is enabled and hardware-accelerated (running on the graphics card).
- Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable — WebGL is enabled, but running in software. See here for more info: "For software rendering of WebGL, Chrome uses SwiftShader, a software GL rasterizer."
- Unavailable — WebGL is not available in hardware or software.
- If the status is not "Hardware accelerated", then the Problems Detected list (below the the Graphics Feature Status list) may explain why hardware acceleration is unavailable.
- If your graphics card/drivers are blacklisted, you can override the blacklist. Warning: this is not recommended! To override the blacklist:
Go to chrome://flags
- Activate the Override software rendering list setting (you'll need to relaunch Chrome for any changes to take effect)
- For more information, see: Chrome Help: WebGL and 3D graphics.
Hope this helps

I appreciate your taking the time to post these things in your reply.Thank you! However, I have already looked at these items and made the adjustments as I had stated in my original post and they produced no resolution to the issue. I sent a message to Google concerning this and as yet have received no reply. Not sure what the issue is/could be. The only thing I know for certain is that it's an issue inherent to Chrome as there is no issue with FireFox. Hopefully Google will reply with a work around or update that will resolve this. Thanks again!
