Expanding on the solid foundation of WebGL 1, WebGL 2 allows content creators to leverage more modern accelerated rendering features, like transform feedback, expanded texturing functionality, and multisampled rendering support. This will make it possible for developers to create more sophisticated and engaging visual content on the web.<\/p>\n<p>The full WebGL2 feature set works on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Developers interested in learning more about WebGL 2 can read about it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2017\/01\/webgl-2-lands-in-firefox\">Hacks blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to try running a WebGL 2 demo, upgrade to Firefox 51, and check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/playcanv.as\/e\/p\/44MRmJRU\/\">After the Flood<\/a> by PlayCanvas.
