> WebGL is not deprecated, and uses the ANGLE library *on Chromium!!! Firefox and WebKit do not use ANGLE for rendering.

  This is false. Source: I added WebGL 2 support to WebKit using ANGLE, with Apple's help (they made ANGLE's Metal backend). Firefox uses ANGLE on every platform for shader translation, and on some platforms it uses ANGLE for the entire API (on others it has a custom OpenGL to WebGL translation layer).

    Do they use it for the window surfaces? AFAIK Chromium is the only one that does that.

      I don't think Chromium renders non-WebGL content with ANGLE.
      • LoganDark 2y ago
        Sure it does. The "ANGLE backend" flag affects everything from frame pacing to whether DRM-protected content can be screenshotted. On websites that don't touch WebGL at all whatsoever.
