WebGPU is available as a preview on Safari behind a feature flag, so it's on its way to many users in the foreseeable future. Curiously, with the feature flag on, the demo works on desktop Safari 18.0 but not on mobile Safari 17.6 where the demo asks users to use Chrome.

I was hoping it might work on the iOS 18 beta (after turning WebGPU on in Settings → Apps → Safari → Feature Flags), but it still didn’t work.

I remember WebGL 2.0 was feature flagged for years.
