This is super exciting for us as we develop interactive browser UIs. I hope future versions of WebGPU will be backwards compatible to all those with Chrome 113.

We need an iOS like pace of updating for browsers!

How do you mean? Browsers often update every 6 weeks. IOS releases with new behavior are annual.

The difficulty is the number of people still running old versions, as soon as new iOS versions come out a super high percentage of people switch. And with browsers you have to account for the update cycles of every browser on the market.
