Chrome and Chromelikes are still the only browsers shipping stable WebGPU, on Firefox it's behind a flag, and on Safari it's only on the TP branch. Then on Chrome it's not available on Linux yet, only Windows and Android, and only on a subset of Android GPUs.

We have a way to go yet.

I was trying it out in nightly firefox, and regardless of the webgpu flags I tried, it still errored:
