Specificationhttps://registry.khronos.org/webgl/specs/latest/1.0 Summary The WebGL specification has defined a WebGLObject superinterface for many years, but Chromium's implementation never exposed it. This did not significantly affect applications in practice, but prevented enabling WebGL IDL tests in the Interop suite. The WebGL working group also aims to finally utilize this superinterface to improve application-level debugging. This feature exposes the WebGLObject type in the same contexts where the WebGL API is exposed - on the main thread and workers. Blink componentBlink>WebGL <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EWebGL> TAG reviewNone TAG review statusNot applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility No risk. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all intend to expose this interface. *Gecko*: Positive (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL/pull/3637) Firefox approves of and proposes using this superinterface to add application-level debugging functionality. *WebKit*: Positive (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL/pull/3637) Safari approves of using this superinterface to add application-level debugging functionality. *Web developers*: Positive ( https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL/issues/3514) Web developers request debugging functionality built on this superinterface, per the link above. *Other signals*: Ergonomics N/A for this change; follow-on ones will improve developer ergonomics and integration with platform-specific graphics debugging tools. Activation N/A for this change. Security None WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Debuggability N/A for this change. Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?Yes Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ?No Not tested by web-platform-tests yet. This change enables automated WebGL IDL tests, which were previously failing, to be added to the Interop suite. It will also be tested in the WebGL conformance suite, which is separate from web-platform-tests. Flag name on chrome://flagsNone Finch feature nameNone Non-finch justification Trivial addition of a superinterface to multiple WebGL object types. Requires code in //chrome?False MeasurementDoes not apply; this is currently an empty web-exposed interface which can be used in "instanceof" checks. Availability expectationFeature is available on Web Platform mainline within 12 months of launch in Chrome. Adoption expectationFeature is considered a best practice for some use case within 12 months of reaching Web Platform baseline. Adoption planChrome, Firefox and Safari plan to ship debugging functionality for application developers on top of this feature as soon as possible. Non-OSS dependencies Does the feature depend on any code or APIs outside the Chromium open source repository and its open-source dependencies to function? None Estimated milestones Shipping on desktop 126 Shipping on Android 126 Shipping on WebView 126 Anticipated spec changes Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
