Status: Error

Firefox on Linux: Error: Unsupported device: "webgpu". Should be one of: wasm.

Chromium on Linux: Error: no available backend found. ERR: [webgpu] Error: Failed to get GPU adapter. You may need to enable flag "--enable-unsafe-webgpu" if you are using Chrome.

Passing the --enable-unsafe-webgpu flag results in the same error.



for Chromium, on Linux you also need to run it with --enable-features=Vulkan https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status#...


This worked, thanks!


This!


Maybe it's because of how I detect the GPU and switch to another backend (to support devices that don't support WebGPU).

Can you try to go https://pmndrs.github.io/detect-gpu/ and pass the result here


{ "fps": 60, "gpu": "amd radeon r9 200", "isMobile": false, "tier": 3, "type": "BENCHMARK" }

It's a AMD Radeon RX 6600.

It worked on Chromium after passing --enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan


“chrome://gpu/” may give more clues as to what went wrong.


Firefox doesn't support WebGPU FYI
