Until Chromium gets back hardware acceleration enabled as default - I'm using a workaround which might be usefuly for others as well:
1. Download and install Google Chrome for Ubuntu here: https://www.google.de/chrome/browser/desktop/
2. Link your Chromium profile directory to chrome: ln -s ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/google-chrome
3. Start using chrome instead of chromium
