Summary navigator.xr.supportsSession was replaced in the WebXR spec by the navigator.xr.isSessionSupported method in September of 2019 after receiving feedback on the API shape from the TAG. It has been marked as deprecated in Chromium since then, producing a console warning redirecting developers to the updated API. Motivation The API has been marked as deprecated for over 5 years. The function that replaced it provides identical functionality with better ergonomics. There is no need to retain the deprecated method. Interoperability and Compatibility Risk Extremely low. WebXR usage is low overall, and usage of this specific call is lower still, as shown here <https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/2416>. Additionally, all major frameworks that are used to build WebXR content have been confirmed to have been updated to use the newer call, and all pages with WebXR content that were checked are using the newer method. Edge: Supported the API change when originally made <https://github.com/immersive-web/webxr/pull/841> Firefox: Never implemented Safari: Never implemented Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers navigator.xr.isSessionSupported is a full replacement for this method.
