On: WebAssembly Raytracer

[igravious]

Wow, Chrome is able to run the Shader on my Intel integrated graphics on Wayland in Ubuntu 17.10

Colo(u)r me impressed.

I'm getting 0.1 versus 125 for WebAsm versus ASM.js/JS of ~210 – kind of crazy that Chrome can run plain JS as fast as ASM.js (or is it?)

Firefox (57) can't run Shader unless there's some under the hood option I have to turn on …

I'm using Firefox 58 beta on macOS with Intel graphics and the Shader version works for me. Maybe WebGL is disabled in your set up. Some drivers and driver versions are blocklisted to avoid instability:

The graphics section in about:support might tell you your WebGL status.
