No it won't. If everyone is mining more efficiently then the difficulty will rise.

Most miners already use GPUs (or ASICs depending on the coin). WebGL would let websites get a relatively larger piece of the pie from dedicated miners.

As it always is with cryptocurrency. It's not sustainable, but at the moment a wasm + WebGL solution is better than plain JS. That's all I meant.
