On: An experimental editor for WebGPU compute shaders

Does WebGPU present a permissions dialogue or does it just work automatically, allowing drive-by cryptominers?

No dialogue, it just works.

The only way I even know a page is using WebGPU is because my GPU usage spikes when the tab is open.

Your computer can’t really do any useful crypto mining, so I wouldn’t be too worried.

Your computer can't do any useful crypto mining if you're the one paying for electricity, but if you're freely using other people's computers then it can definitely be profitable.
