If you don't see the flagpole, your WebGL implementation might be broken. I had to launch Chrome on a dedicated GPU (using optirun/bumblebee), it didn't work on the Intel one. A lot of stuff is logged into console, the relevant part is probably "extension `GL_ARB_gpu_shader5' unsupported in fragment shader". I guess my laptop is just too old.

Thinkpad T420, i5-2540M (didn't work) & Quadro NVS 4200M (works), Linux.

Newer Intel chips seem to render it fine in Chrome on Linux. i7-8550U laptop here running Ubuntu 16.04.

It seems to work fine with my Fedora 27 system (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0) using a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 running proprietary linux drivers (v390.25).

Not with the stable version, but Firefox nightly (61.0a1) seems to work very well (with optirun to run it with NVidia card, see parent comment). Better than Chrome actually.

Works fine on 59.0 here. Modern-ish integrated Intel GFX.

That uses a Chrome rendering engine.
