Many examples are white or over-bright on Chrome on macOS

Description of the problem

Several examples show up oddly on Chrome on macOS (OSX). This is true not just for Three.js, but appears to be a new-ish WebGL feature in Chrome.

For example, the experiment: http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/ - Worked fine before, but is white now.

• https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_shadowmap_pointlight - Screen is completely white.
• https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_shadowmap - Works, but is very light.
• https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_shadowmap_performance - Works fine.
• https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_shadowmap_viewer - Works fine.

Console output (nothing special):

THREE.WebGLRenderer 84

Chrome version: Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
macOS Sierra: 10.12.3

Also tested on Window 10, x64, examples show up correctly.

Three.js version

• Current stable, see urls.

It appears to only happen in Chrome on macOS Sierra. So I reported it to the Chrome team as well.

What graphics card is that with?

Does it only happen with three.js when antialias: true ?

@Nimja Could you please supply your machine's specs?

I'm not seeing this with the following setup:

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
macOS 10.12.3 (16D32)

Chrome Version 57.0.2987.21 beta (64-bit)

Granted mine's a slightly older Mac. Perhaps it's an AMD driver issue?

I am seeing similar issue on old setup (Macbook Pro mid-2010 with NVidia GT330M). On Safari (macOS 10.12.3) WebGL is rendered properly (THREE.WebGLRenderer 78), on Chrome Three.js throws an error: THREE.WebGLRenderer: Error creating WebGL context
