Truth be told the phone is relatively old, but then again I haven't switched because it... still works and I assume many other owners made the same choice regarding their devices.
Unfortunately, this feature is very obscure, not really explained anywhere, and no complete list of blocked configurations exists anywhere. I've heard that it's supposedly to protect from buggy implementations that might allow a sandbox escape exploit. But again, that's just hearsay, there's really no official, up to date documentation on any of this
Thanks for reminding though.
I doubt either would actually lack float texture support though. The WebGL implementation perhaps has weird requirements for when to allow this extension.
I checked and indeed it's not listed when looking at chrome://gpu
Works on Firefox though.
That's because it runs fine in Firefox Focus. The error message shows up in Samsumg Internet Browser and Chrome though.
(S8 is a great device. I don't want to "upgrade" - hate the notch on newer versions, the S8 still performs very well, and I don't know of any feature only in newer phones that I have a use worth paying for.)
