Brief Instruction on How to Enable WebGL in Your Browser

Below are the settings for all Chromium-based browsers. The paths and names may slightly differ. The instructions below are for Google Chrome.

In the address bar, type chrome://gpu and press Enter.

If you see messages similar to these:

  • OpenGL: Disabled
  • WebGL: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
  • WebGL2: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
  • WebGPU: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

This means that OpenGL and WebGL are not working properly, and when rendering L2 models, only your CPU will be used, which will be heavily loaded.

It should look something like this:

  • OpenGL: Enabled
  • WebGL: Hardware accelerated
  • WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
  • WebGPU: Hardware accelerated

How to Fix This:

1. Open Google Chrome settings by typing chrome://settings/ in the address bar and pressing Enter.

  • Find and enable the option: Use graphics acceleration when available.

2. Next, type chrome://flags/ in the address bar and press Enter.

  • Find the flag Override software rendering list and enable it (it should say enabled).

3. After making the changes, restart your browser and check chrome://gpu. It should look as mentioned earlier:

  • OpenGL: Enabled
  • WebGL: Hardware accelerated

If you see something like this, it means you can view L2 models without overloading your CPU.

For other Chromium-based browsers, the recommendations and settings will be similar, but only the prefix will change. Examples:

  • chromium://gpu
  • opera://gpu
  • edge://gpu
  • brave://gpu
  • vivaldi://gpu

For Mozilla Firefox, the settings are different. You can check WebGL support in the settings.

Type about:support in the address bar and press Enter.

Scroll down to Graphics and check WebGL 1 Driver Renderer, WebGL 2 Driver Renderer. There should be information about your video card. If it says something like «Software», it means WebGL is not fully supported, and you need to look for instructions on how to enable it.

For other browsers, look for similar information on how to enable WebGL or OpenGL for your browser online.
