The reoslution to the bad html5 stuff is profile related, you need run
chromium with the --igonre-gpu-blacklist function once which resets
something in hte profile and after that restart chrome without the flag
and accelerated rendering is back again.
This is not needed with a new profile just if you have an old one lurking
around. I was not able to pinpoint the exact problem yet, but this fixes all
the issues on OpenBSD at least.
