I think that might have something to do with the underlying GPU capabilities of your computer, happened to me as well with Chrome 12!

Your browser is not checking your graphics card.
It's an error in the version detection.

This is why we should be checking for capabilities/features and not version. And part of this is reporting the correct, helpful error message when the capability isn't there, and not just say they have the wrong version.
I still have this problem with 64 bit flash on Linux, which adobe has decided to use a different format version string for.

It is checking for capabilities and not version:
try {
gl = canvas.getContext( "experimental-webgl") ;
gl.viewportWidth = docWidth;
gl.viewportHeight = docHeight;
} catch(e) {
}
if (!gl) {
alert("This website requires WebGL. Try running Chrome 9+ or Firefox 4+");
}

Yep, it's not the Chrome version. It works fine for me using Chrome 10.0.648.204.

I'm trying with FF4 and Chrome 11 with a GeForce 9600 GT and it still gives me the error message.
