hm. It seems it's been in firefox, pref'd off by default, for a few years now.. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/04/experimental-webgpu-in-fir...

Thanks for the pointer! As far as we know the WebGPU development on firefox is a bit lagging behind, so we use Chrome and did not develop this project on firefox.

I downloaded Firefox nightly a couple of days ago, turned the flags on accordingly, but it didn't work out saying:

> Find an error initializing the WebGPU device TypeError: adapter.requestAdapterInfo is not a function

No idea how to fix it.

Well, based on the reply below, it sounds like they weren't testing in Firefox at all, so my guess is they were simply using APIs that only exist in Chrome right now. Whether those are actually necessary for the SD implementation, no idea.

Submitted a question in Firefox support forum, and there seems some bugs blocking it from running smoothly: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408328

Ah. Thanks for following up. I see it's mentioning there was a regression bug in v111 in that particular call, so I guess could use an older version. I'm going to subscribe to the bug too.
