Can you confirm that your chrome-based browser supports WebGL? I believe that is required in order to run a shader.

I’m just using the most recent Chrome, and Brave. They both give that error.

Ah - thank you. Yes, the hardware-acceleration toggle had been turned off.
Thanks you for the pointer.
Cheers,
David
