 **V3D** is an API provided by the Linux kernel to support 3D graphics on the **VideoCore VI** GPU (RPi 4). The software driver is actually provided in the form of a //Device Tree Overlay// which is loaded at boot time adding the following line into **/boot/config.txt**:

+===== Enable graphics acceleration in Chromium =====
+In Chromium you can open the page **%%chrome://gpu%%** and check the **Graphics Feature Status**, you should read:
+^ Canvas  | Hardware accelerated  |
+^ Canvas out-of-process rasterization  | Enabled  |
+^ Direct Rendering Display Compositor  | Disabled  |
+^ Compositing  | Hardware accelerated  |
+^ Multiple Raster Threads  | Enabled  |
+^ OpenGL  | Enabled  |
+^ Rasterization  | Hardware accelerated on all pages  |
+^ Raw Draw  | Enabled  |
+^ Video Decode  | Hardware accelerated  |
+^ Video Encode  | Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled  |
+^ Vulkan  | Disabled  |
+^ WebGL  | Hardware accelerated  |
+^ WebGL2  | Hardware accelerated  |
+^ WebGPU  | Disabled  |
+Probably something is disabled, because of Chromium defaults. In that case you have to open the page **%%chrome://flags%%**, then search and set the following flags:
+^ Override software rendering list  | Overrides the built-in software rendering list and enables GPU-acceleration on unsupported system configurations.  |
+^ Enable raw draw  | When enabled, web content will be rastered on output surface directly.  |
+^ GPU rasterization  | Use GPU to rasterize web content.  |
+^ Out-of-process 2D canvas rasterization  | The rasterization of 2d canvas contents is performed in the GPU process.  |
+^ Accelerated 2D canvas  | Enables the use of the GPU to perform 2d canvas rendering instead of using software rendering.  |
