A remake of the Windows pipes screensaver using Three.js

Just FYI I get a blank black screen in Chrome 45.0.2454.101. Two javascript errors in the console. "Error creating WebGL context THREE.WebGLRenderer @ 3.js:421" and then "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getExtension' of null," which is probably just an after effect of the first one. Have ABP extension installed, along with a few development plugins.

Runs great on Firefox. Seems to draw quite a bit faster than the original, which I had as my screensaver for years on my NT 3.5 workstation.

Sounds like Chrome is unable to get GPU acceleration. Are you on Linux?

That test was on Windows 7 Professional, with a GTX 660 and latest nVidia drivers.

Here's the status section from the top. Don't want to post the whole mess so if you want anything else let me know and I will cherry pick. Also, installed extensions: ABP 1.9.3, Evernote Web Clipper 6.7, rest console 4.0.2, xpath helper 2.0.2 and a couple of standard Google shims.
