Re: [Trisquel-users] WebGL

[onpon4]

That's not exactly what WebGL does. It's an API for rendering graphics; yes,  
the GPU is directly used for this normally, but it's not like the code  
directly tells the GPU what to do. It tells the browser what to tell the GPU  
to do (though I think it's more like telling the browser what to tell the OS  
what to tell the GPU to do).

The reason it might be a good idea might be to get rid of proprietary  
plug-ins that have been used for the job, like Flash and Unity3D. I think  
it's a good standard to have. The only reason to have it disabled by default  
might be to prevent unwanted slowdowns and discourage web developers from  
abusing it for stupid things (like when some people had entire websites based  
on Flash).
