How To: WebGL on Chromium Browser with H/W-Accelerated GPU on SBCs

LinuxFactory on YouTube just published a video on how to enable Chromium Browser to use the GPU for WebGL on the ODROID-N2+. The same method should work for any other SBC running Linux kernel 5.11 with ARM Mali Panfrost Driver (Wayland), like the ODROID-C4 and ODROID-HC4.

From LinuxFactory:

Chromium Browser has been installed to Ubuntu 21.04 on ODROID-N2+ and we will see how it well performs with H/W accelerated GPU on top of Gnome Desktop on Ubuntu 21.04. The H/W accelerated GPU is running over ARM Mali Panfrost driver on Linux kernel 5.11. The same commands and flag set up can be applied to ODROID-C4/HC4 if Ubuntu 21.04 with Linux kernel 5.11 is installed.
