> Also FYI for people on Linux, you need to enable unsafe WebGPU features for this to work.

Browsers on macOS do not require you to enable this feature. Does it mean it's on by default?!

I think the most nefarious thing they can do with this is use it to further fingerprint your browser.

Linux support for WebGPU is incomplete. Other platforms have received more priority and have it enabled by default. Even on platforms where Chrome does support it, the tech isn't available on other browsers necessarily.
