I am on the latest firefox for linux: 115.0.2 (64-bit) (NOTE: Same issue on Firefox 116.0b5 (64-bit))
I enabled webgpu using about:config
like so:
Yet, when running an example, the browser reports no support:
Why doesn't firefox let me run webgpu code?
$ inxi -G

Same issue on chromium:
And chromium even states that it has WEBGPU enabled:
I'm not sure what could be the problem with Chrome, because in Chrome 113+ WebGPU is enabled by default and it works for me. Maybe some sort of Linux/driver-specific problem? However, the problem with Firefox is exactly what the error message says:
WebGPU is not yet available in Release or Beta builds.
You have to use the Nightly build. Note, that even in the Nightly build WebGPU is not fully supported.
