WebGL has been part of browsers for many years now and the security track record is public. This fear has not proven true in reality. Overall, WebGL has not had more or worse security problems than other components of the browser. Great care has been taken to properly isolate and sandbox WebGL, far in excess of what any other graphics API has ever had in terms of security. WebGPU in browsers will have the same level of protection.
- jlokier 5y agoI visited a WebGL page a few years ago in Firefox on a laptop running Ubuntu, and it crashed the X server, taking down all other applications. I don't know of any other browser feature with that track record.
