I learned about the new webGPU standard being a real thing few weeks ago and of course I want to try to play with that.

I read in multiple sources that Firefox Nightly has partial support if you enable it in about:config.

I tried it, however none of the online demos worked even after all that. Trying to create the webGPU interface in the console produced an error as well, just as if I was running normal firefox release.

Could you please provide detailed steps to get this to work?

Currently, Chrome Canary is the browser with the best support for the WebGPU standard, and Chrome plans to have WebGPU support in an official release in May 2023.

To enable WebGPU in Firefox Nightly: Type about:config in the address bar, set dom.webgpu.enabled and gfx.webgpu.force-enabled to true.

To enable WebGPU in Chrome Canary: Type chrome://flags in the address bar , set Unsafe WebGPU and WebGPU Developer Features to Enabled.
