Whoa, I totally missed that! https://blog.chromium.org/2016/06/universal-rendering-with-s... So is it the case that you get decent (though perhaps not great) WebGL performance even if you have no GL-compatible graphics driver at all?

Then are Nouveau users only losing performance and not functionality as a result of this Google decision?
