WebGL in Chrome Not Supported
The webgl report page ( http://webglreport.com/
WebGL Report
× This browser supports WebGL 1, but it is disabled or unavailable.
Sometimes this is the result of older video drivers being rejected by the browser. Try updating your video drivers if possible.
Also check out Get WebGL, or try installing the latest version of Chrome, or Firefox.

This happens regardless of whether or not the GPU blacklist is disabled in chrome://about.
I'm considering returning this laptop due to this and other problems, such as failure to resume after sleeping, white noise background through the speakers, and a jumpy trackpad. Any response from a Dell rep would probably hold me over until this is fixed. My 2014 sputnik that I used at my previous job works better than this new one so far.

Absolutely needs to be fixed. WebGL support imperative.

This should fix the jumpy touchpad on Ubuntu 14.04:

For the WebGL support, there are two options I see:
1) Jump up to Ubuntu 15.04 which has newer kernel + graphics drivers.
2) Install a newer kernel + X stack on Ubuntu 14.04.
If you are comfortable on Ubuntu 15.04, all of the relevant patches have been pushed up there already. You can test Chrome in Ubuntu 15.04 live environment if you want to see if it's working properly too. You'll need to make sure you install the Broadcom wireless driver though.
