I don't think Google cares. If it works on Chromebooks and most Android phones, their job is done. On to the next API, let's make WebWiFi or WebAI.

WebGPU demos never work for me, so I personally consider the tech dead until that gets fixed. WebGL is barely stable enough to use as well, so I guess I'll just have to keep doing GPU stuff outside of the browser.

When they see a business value on GNU/Linux Desktop WebGPU support for Chrome, note that other Linux kernel based systems from Google already support it.

My guess is when someone one who cares about Linux submits a pull request to support it.

So that's how it worked with MacOS and Windows? Color me surprised.

But bth, Google doesn't seem to care about Android either. Chrome supports it on Snapdragons and that's it. Do you have Xclipse GPU? Like, I don't know, Samsung's current flagship line Galaxy S24 does? Too bad, not good enough.

Lots of people use MacOS and Windows though, so Google has incentive to support these platforms.
