I haven't been following that bug, but a couple of things. Did you ignore-blacklists ? If you do ignore-blacklists, it overrides some stuff, but not everything.

I haven't been following that bug, but a couple of things. Did you ignore-blacklists ? If you do ignore-blacklists, it overrides some stuff, but not everything. Also, the about:gpu page is not entirely accurate (particularly after ignore-blacklists) from what I remember. I think you should play a video and go to chrome://media-internals to figure out which path it is using. There have also been patches to enable acceleration for intel, but not merged upstream. So if you got a patched version, or your distro did that for you, it could also work. Finally, it works on chromeOS, which also uses Intel hardware, but that's because google supports chromeOS.
