Yeah, same here, running Ubuntu on a Dell Precision laptop. Guess WebGL doesn't like my setup.
I coded WebGL a little over a year ago on a Precision "laptop" under Suse Linux. What I needed: (A) up-to-date Nvidia proprietary drivers (B) "de-blacklist myself" somewhere deep in the browser's hidden WebGL config page (I think it was about:gpu or some such back then in Chromium, but I'm not really up to date).

Yeah, I run Chrome on Ubuntu on a pretty powerful Lenovo T-something with an NVIDIA whatever optimus pain in the neck. The only way I can get it to work is to add --ignore-gpu-blacklist to the Chrome command line.
Check: /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop (or something like that) You should see some lines that start with "Exec" where you can add that parameter to the end.
chrome://flags
override software rendering list
Works great for me, using Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15R (Radeon 7700M) with the latest fglrx drivers.

Same message here (Ubuntu, Dell, Chrome). But it worked on Firefox.
I had the same deal with Chrome on my OSX Mountain Lion. Here's what fixed it for me:
1. Visiting chrome://flags 2. Scrolling down to Disable WebGL, hitting "Enable", and then "Relaunch now" 3. Repeating steps 1 and 2, but hitting "Disable" rather than "Enable".

Apparently with my Retina MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5, I "need to upgrade my video drivers", according to the site...
Sadly, Safari still doesn't support WebGL by default, although you can enable the Develop menu in the prefs, and then enable it in the Develop menu.

Even if you do: it runs super slow on my Mac Pro.

I can confirm this. On Chrome, though (same machine and same webkit, I guess) it runs smoothly.
Mac Pro running Mountain Lion with an ATI 5870 graphics card. Color me not terribly impressed.
Could someone upload a video of the result? not the finished OKGO music video please :)

I had the same message in Firefox on Windows, but it worked fine in Google Chrome.
It failed here, but without an error message. I can only see the first frame.
Got the same thing for in Chrome. Did work for me in Firefox though.

Same here. Could it be because I am running Linux?
Works for me on Ubuntu 13.04, Chrome 28(beta), Firefox 21, using Nvidia drivers.
I got it working in Linux on Firefox. Chrome didn't work, though.
Working on Ubuntu 12.04 Firefox 21 and Chrome 27, AMD drivers.

you just need to enable it. it is disabled by default for most Linux OS / video card combos
