Why I can't enable webgpu in Google Chrome? - google-chrome

I'm trying to use webgpu in my web app. I found this guide of how to use WebGL compute feature. I enabled #enable-webgpu-developer-features flag and even run Google Chrome with --enable-unsafe-webgpu option. But still receive null on calling canvas.getContext('webgpu') and navigator.gpu is undefined. When I'm trying to see these demos, I observe TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'requestDevice')
Are there some hardware requirements, or specific drivers, or any other suggestions?

I have a similar problem with Chrome 106, but the demos you link work for me when I use Chrome Canary instead of Chrome. I had to restart the browser after enabling the flag to get most demos to work, but that one in particular worked without it. I suspect it has to do with the Origin Trial of WebGPU.

QUIC request with google chrome

I am trying to force Google Chrome to use QUIC as the underlying protocol instead of TCP.
I used this command to force QUIC through the command line, but it doesn't work:
chrome --disable-setuid-sandbox --enable-quic --origin-to-force-quic-on=IP:443 http://IP:443/
Wireshark shows me that Google Chrome is still using TCP for that destination.
BTW i am using google chrome Version 97.0.4692.71
Can anyone help me in that matter.
just trying to find a solution for chrome to use http3 without forcing it to, does not work for my local nginx-quic setup, firefox works out of the box... Just found your question. If i remember correctly you can only pass a single domain with that flag to chrome. This works for me:
--origin-to-force-quic-on=mylocaldomain.local:443

Cloud Shell: Editor is not loading in incognito mode

So I have been following the following step for past few months:
Log in to Google Cloud Console from Chrome's incognito mode
Activate Cloud Shell
From there, I usually opened Editor and managed my files in a new window
Today while I was following the above steps, this issue raised up:
Basically, I cannot open editor anymore. I have already went through similar posts, and my issue is that I am using incognito where browser extensions or cookies shouldn't be an issue.
I am facing this problem for the first time and if anyone knows what is the cause or any suggestions would be appreciated.
EDIT:
For now Microsoft Edge InPrivate Mode is working for me. I am still interested in fixing the issue for Chrome.
Have reported the issue in Issue Tracker. Please "start" for more attention.
This started happening recently because third-party cookies stopped being supported in Incognito mode as of Chrome 83. Third-party cookies are required for the editor to work because of the way the open-source Theia IDE is integrated into Cloud Shell. The team is exploring various fixes, but in the mean time the following workaround should work:
In Incognito Mode, click on the crossed out 'eye' icon on the address bar.
Click on 'Site not working?'
Click on 'Allow cookies'
Safari problem stems from the same issue, but I am not certain if a similar workaround exists.
I've encountered the same issue myself (I tried this on Chrome running on both ChromeOS and MacOS) - it looks like a bug so in this case I'd recommend reporting it on Google's Issuetracker (you can even put a link to this post).
UNfortunately it looks like it's not just the Chrome browser. I tried this on Safari 13.1 and found the issue you described is also present.
I didn't check other browsers but IssueTracker is the way to go. And be patient :)

Google Chrome Microphone problems. No joy whatever the settings

I've been getting annoyed from this. It was used to work fine, but it must have happened with some recent update.
I'm on Google Chrome 71 and the microphone doesn't work. Regardless the extension (including Google Meet) and the settings which clearly shows the microphone as active, the audio is not passing sounds in.
The audio settings at computer level are fine, the chrome settings are fine and the microphone is enabled and whitelisted for the given site.
I tried also to fully reset the browser, restoring to the original settings and to use unlinking my accounts. No joy.
Conversely, while using Chromoium (Google Canary) everything works fine.
Has anybody experiencing the same or found a solution?
Ok, in a nutshell - and after having reported this to their chrome bug center - it turned out to be an issue I (and very likely many other users) have been experiencing with the upgrade to MoJave.
Basically, the upgrade seems to remove the microphone access at OS level.
To fix/check this, go into System Preference > Security and Privacy > Microphone and re-instate the check to Google Chrome, which should in theory unticked as it was on my case.

Chrome - Microphone blocked even if it shows allowed

I am trying to implement and use the Chrome Speech API on my website but I'm not able to do it. The response I receive is that the "Permission to use microphone is blocked" but it really isn't. Microphone settings in Chrome are clearly showing that I don't have sites blocked and that the system should it least ask.
It is not a problem with the website because I have performed tests on other computers and it is working fine. I would like to figure out the settings/preferences that need to be readjusted in order to make this work.
In addition to this, in C:\Users\MY-USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences I was able to see entries for my site and I removed them but nothing changed. I tried also (not in order:
1- Reset Chrome.
2- Uninstalling/reinstalling Chrome. Manually removing files and registry entries.
3- Run Chrome in incognito mode.
4- Run ChromeCleanup Tool
5- Not working on Chrome Canary.
6- Every computer was tested on the same internet connection.
I am not sure what else I can do about this.
Thanks!

Ember App not playing sound in Chrome

I have built an ember music app consuming favorite songs by SoundCloud using the api of this project. You can see the demo here
From a couple of days i have noticed that only in Chrome any song i play, the sound and and the stream do not work, in the other browsers ( Safari and Firefox) it works well as usual.
I thought at the beginning it was violating the content Security Policy directive in environment Ember Cli. See the question here but although i have solved it, the problem is still there, plus there is not console log error
These are all the actions i have taken in Chrome to fix it, none of them was successful
Removed any chrome extension
Clear cache and deleted cookies
Tried in incognito mode
Reinstalled Chrome
My chrome is update , the version is 48.0.2564.116 (64-bit)
At the moment the sound and the stream do not work in my app and also in the demo http://soundcloud.lrdiv.co/ but in all the other browsers yes.
So question is, what other actions can i take? Should i maybe downgrade a Chrome Version as last try? Is it only a browser problem?
I have also followed these instructions with not solution
Found the solution here: https://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-javascript/issues/39
If you deactivate the flash here chrome://plugins/ it works out
