  • Feature Description: Starting from 0.174 WebGL is disabled by default. It would be wonderful if we could bring it back.
  • impact for my app: [low, mid, high, show-stopper]. high
  • What is your current pain point? I am not able to develop apps that are powered by WebGL
  • What do you have in mind to solve it?

You may check if WebGL is enabled within the web-browser by entering

const gl = document.createElement("canvas").getContext("webgl");
console.log(gl.getParameter(gl.VERSION));
console.log(gl.getParameter(gl.SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION));
console.log(gl.getParameter(gl.VENDOR));

In console. Here is the result of 0.158.1.1 version

With latest app version the WebGl is absent even when GPU acceleration is enabled per manifest.json and per window.

Hey @wobes1,

WebGL is not supported on OSR windows, just on native windows.

Thanks.
