I enable WebGPU in Chrome DEV, and it still doesn't work

So, I have enabled the #enable-unsafe-webgpu flag and I even get a warning when opening Chrome, that "WebGPU is enabled and stability will suffer". Yet, when trying to access any WebGPU example website, I get an error, stating that my browser doesn't support WebGPU / WebGPU is not enabled. What can I do?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and Chrome Version 103.0.5056.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

Thanks

  • For now on Linux Chrome Dev, you can use WebGPU by launching Chrome via cmd line like this:

    google-chrome-unstable --enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan

    (Basically you need the extra --enable-features=Vulkan on Linux as indicated in the F12 developer console)
