Have you faced real issues namely with hardware acceleration?

iHD driver is tied first, but your graphics card is too old for it, so 
i965 loaded next. I am unsure if it is possible to suppress attempt to 
load iHD and so to avoid an error message e.g. by setting some 
environment variable.

chrome://gpu may provide more info.
