Browser support

Browsers, WebGL and WebGPU availability.

Requirements

Browzarr targets evergreen browsers — keep your browser up to date.

Feature	Requirement
Basic plotting	WebGL2-capable browser (all modern browsers)
Analytics	WebGPU (Chrome/Edge 113+, Chromium derivatives)
Local files	npm or Julia offline app (any browser)

WebGPU powers the analytics features. Availability:

Chrome / Edge (desktop): supported since v113
Firefox / Safari: rolling out; check your browser version
Headless/VM environments may expose no GPU — analytics will be unavailable there

You can check support by visiting chrome://gpu (Chromium) or a WebGPU test page.

Safari: memory pressure on very large cubes can be stricter than in Chromium
Firefox: WebGPU may need to be enabled in settings depending on version

If you hit a browser-specific bug, include your browser/version and OS when opening an issue.

Supported formats

Data formats, backends and codecs.
