Scratch said my browser doesn't support WebGL when it didn't tell me that before..
Try this:
Thanks wheelsonfire and the all of the ST. For anyone else having this bug, could you please follow these steps:
1. Quit and relaunch Chrome
2. In your Chrome browser, go to https://webglsamples.org/google-io/2011/100-objects.html and tell me if you see 3D shapes flying around?
3. Same question about the site https://camillemormal.com – do you see photos that scroll smoothly as you drag your mouse?
4. Now try to create a project in Scratch – do you see the “Your browser does not support WebGL” message?
5. Do Scratch-Minion's suggestion: i) click the little “3 vertical dots” icon at the top right of the Chrome browser window and select “Settings” in the drop down menu; then ii) search for “acceleration” at the top of the window; then iii) disable “Use hardware acceleration when available” by dragging the circle on the slider to the left.
6. Repeat steps 1-4; what do you see now?
7. If you still get the “your browser does not support WebGL” message: go to chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist and change the setting for “Override software rendering list” to “Enabled”. (Warning: there's a chance that this might cause some glitches or crashing – if you see any problems, go back to chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist and set “Override software rendering list” back to what it was before)
8. Repeat steps 1-4; what do you see now?
Thanks!
