When encountering a situation where the browser does not support WebGPU, the following solution can be taken:
1. Browser upgrade program
- Upgrading to the latest version of Chrome (version 88 and above) is recommended as a priority
- Also try the newer versions of Microsoft Edge or Firefox Nightly version
- WebGPU functionality may need to be enabled manually in some browsers
2. Alternative programs
- Use the cloud version through platforms such as Hugging Face
- Consider WASM mode (lower performance but better compatibility)
- Waiting for full WebGPU support in major browsers
3. Technical inspection steps
- Visit a test site such as webgpu.io to confirm browser support
- Check if the graphics card driver is up to date
- Confirming Direct3D 12 functionality on Windows systems
4. Developer response strategies
- Implementing Feature Detection and Graceful Degradation in Code
- Provide users with a clear indication of incompatibility
- Consider providing multiple operating mode options
5. Long-term solutions
- Focus on the WebGPU standardization process (now a W3C Recommended Standard)
- Tracking Roadmap Updates from Major Browser Vendors
- Participate in the WebGPU community and keep up with the latest compatibility news!
As WebGPU technology becomes more popular, it is expected that more browsers will support this feature natively in the future, and compatibility issues will then be significantly reduced.
