Care to provide some kind of link?
- tssva 8y agoGoogle Earth for the web doesn't work for any version of Chromium. It has only ever been supported on Google Chrome because it is a Native Client based Chrome App. When development of the web version began the only options for running C/C++ code in the browser were Native Client and asm.js. asm.js was not performant enough for the task. Shortly after release of the web version Google announced it would be ported to the now available WebAssembly at which point it would gain cross browser support. Last year Google demonstrated an in development WebAssembly version running on Chrome and Firefox. There has been no word on when the WebAssembly version will be released but Native Client Chrome App support is currently scheduled to be removed from Chrome on all platforms except ChromeOS in Q2 2019 which hopefully bodes well that a release will be soon. Of course the date for removal of support was originally scheduled for 2018 so further slippage is possible.
