WebGL not working on Chromebook

Whenever I try to play a game made with WebGL, I get the message"Your browser does not support WebGL." I have checked and it DOES and it works. I have tried many forms of troubleshooting but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this?

A quick side note -

It is only itch.io that won't run WebGL. I have checked other sites and it works fine, so maybe there is a bug with the website.

Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in your browser settings; WebGL sometimes has issues running with it disabled.

You can do this by typing chrome://flags into the address bar and pressing return, then scrolling down to “WebGL” and making sure the drop-down is set to “enabled”. Note that this is not supported on all hardware, especially older computers.

The games that use WebGL now seem to be working. Thank you so much!
