Shipping WebGPU on Windows in Firefox 141
July 17, 2025
After years in development, we will be releasing WebGPU on Windows in Firefox 141! WebGPU gives web content a modern interface to the user’s graphics processor, enabling high-performance computation and rendering. We’re excited about WebGPU because we believe it will raise the ceiling for games, visualization, and local computation on the web.You can find a tutorial on WebGPU at webgpufundamentals.org, try out the WebGPU Samples, and read documentation for the API at MDN. WebGPU is defined in two W3C standards, WebGPU and WGSL, whose development Mozilla has participated in since it began in 2017.

WebGPU is arriving in Firefox, well for Windows right now at least. With Mac and Linux to come. Already shipping in Chrome, it’s coming to Safari before too long too.
WebGPU is a key component of client side AI (and much more) and helps keeping the Web platform on par with platform native applications which have access to underlying device capabilities like GPUs.
