WASM is unusable unless you have user limits set to near infinity, and having it enabled by default actively broke websites that would have otherwise worked without it. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports=154376428820247=2 IMO it was disabled for good reason. An environment variable exists to override it for the few sites that need it. I kind of wish this had also happened in Firefox, but that may soon go in another direction.. -Bryan.

That's because by default WebAssembly is not enabled in Chromium (I found out this was the culprit using the Developer Console, there was some error message). Starting Chromium with ENABLE_WASM=1 in your environment will make it work. Caspar OK, it worked! Now the question is: why WebAssembly is disabled by default under OpenBSD? Is there any contraindication to activate it? Thanks.

Re: WhatsApp Web in Chromium under OpenBSD 7.1
At home, once I reconnected to my own wifi the whatsapp QR reader login came up. After that the linking of Chrome on OpenBSD device went as expected. Before the reconnection to wifi there was no login whatsoever. Good Luck.
WhatsApp Web in Chromium under OpenBSD 7.1
I'm not able to use WhatsApp Web in Chromium under OpenBSD 7.1 (amd64), no login page appears. Is there something bad in my configuration or is this a known problem? Thanks.
