Which is exactly why WebGL never really took off for games like Flash did, versus native games, or now streaming.

Having drivers installed is not enough as the browser lords decided the computer isn't worthy of playing games.

Flash was a buggy crap which made lots of older computers spawn cycles like crazy and had zero accesibility for the blind. It deserverd to die.
Usually the only ones complaining are Linux users.

The rest enjoyed the games, to the point that Flash is being brought back thanks WebAssembly, with Unity and Flutter as spiritual sucessors.
