@sunatolif said in Status of WebGPU Feature:
As things like Three.js and BabylonJS are becoming more and more powerful (with BabylonJS now in version 5 and nearly fully supporting WebGP), I have been searching for the best browser, any browser besides Chromium to run my BabylonJS projects. This is the hugest feature to boast for the Opera platform 'right now', IMO. This needs to be on the feature list page so people can see the amazing things possible without having to install a game engine, a game program, making the Opera browser nearly the only program they would need to experience full fidelity bleeding edge graphical experiences. There was only one other post about WebGPU on these forums and it was from 2021 i believe. Can we please get some clarity and transparency on where Opera (OperaGX) is at with WebGPU without digging through dev codes or release notes? It should be easy and forefront for the gamers browser version. Thank you for your careful consideration.
WebGPU is a new graphics API for the web that provides lower-level access to the GPU, enabling more efficient and performant graphics rendering. As of February 2023, WebGPU is supported in the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome, but not yet in Safari or Edge. Opera has been experimenting with WebGPU support and is expected to add it in a future release, but I do not have information on when that will be.
It's important to note that while WebGPU provides a powerful new tool for graphics rendering on the web, it's not the only factor in determining the best browser for running BabylonJS or Three.js projects. The overall performance and stability of the browser, as well as compatibility with the specific project you're working on, are also important considerations. It's always a good idea to test your projects on multiple browsers to ensure the best experience for your users.
