If I don't know what your code is doing, and I can't modify it, I don't want it. Are you rendering a cube? Are you mining crypto on my machine? And why would I need GPU-rendering? Webpages should be text, images and hierarchy.

It's already executing code on your CPU unless you run noscript or similar...

That's true! Now guess what extension I'm using

Are there other features you've turned off?

You bet. Some I tolerate not disabled, but spoofed or containerised per site.

I make games for Ludum Dare fairly frequently, and it'll be a nice feature, because a lot of people will refuse to download a game and only play web versions.

Other than that case, I agree. What's the point? Your page probably shouldn't be doing anything where it needs the GPU. What information is a page trying to present that a GPU is better at rendering than the CPU? Maybe very niche topics, but usually text is ideal.

A 3d map for example?

Sounds like a pretty solid setup, I also like temporary containers solutions as well, less hassle IMO.

If I don’t know what your code is doing, and I can’t modify it, I don’t want it.

To be fair, 99% of the world population do not share this viewpoint.
