While I'm sure it has its uses, particularly if someone really does want to game or do complex computational stuff purely within a web browser, I'll admit I've grown pretty cautious/tired around the ever increasing amount of hardware attack surface area the browser vendors seem to be rushing to expose as Google in particular appears determined to try to be the "operating system on the operating system" as much as it can. In this particular case it made me realize I'd awhile ago set dom.webgpu.enabled and pdfjs.enableWebGPU to false in Firefox, same as I disabled WebGL. Kinda figured if I ever saw something ultra cool I could enable it just that one time but so far I haven't. Semi-related, reviewing the available settings now for the first time in a bit I notice they have a dom.webgpu.blocked-domains with the sole entries being "easyeda.com,*.easyeda.com", I wonder what that's about?
