    Chrome removed support for Unity's WebGL a while back, I upload many of my games to itch.io to play in a browser, but most of the world uses chrome which has dropped support for npapi making it impossible to be played in the web browser. Does Unity have any plans to change this?

    I assume you mean WebPlayer.
    Unfortunately WebPlayer is dead and now we have WebGL.

    Can you get any of these games to run in chrome? https://itch.io/games/html5/tag-unity

    I always get this chrome error

    And this is what shows up in my console:

    UnityLoader.js:4 exception thrown: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null,TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null

    The fact that you got an error, doesn't meen that chrome doesn't support WebGL...
    I'm currently on my mobile phone and even then some of those games loaded on Chrome for android.

    Did you tried to build something by yourself and it didn't work?
    Which version number of Chrome do you use?

    I've tried Chrome 77 (newest version), newest version of brave (which is currently based on 76), and I can't get it to work with the latest version of MS Edge Canary (78.0.250)

    The current official release of chrome is 76. 77 is the current beta, and 78 is dev.

    I tested some of the games in the list using Chrome 76, and current Canary(78), and they all worked. Including the game from your log.

    ammm... "dropped support for npapi" is not related to WebGL, but WebPlayer.
    Also you wrote "a while back"... what also points on webplayer.

    I just tested on v76 and i don't have any problems.

    @De-Panther @OneManArmy3D If you think that's not the problem can you tell me why none of my Chrome devices can do it? They all come up with the same error?

    My guess is that you have some flags disabled.
    Try to look at chrome's flags for "webassembly", and see if any of them is disabled or not on default

    On that site I don't get any errors however they are all just blank screens, but it all still works fine in Firefox.

    See if anything strange comes up on this page on Chrome - this can test both WebGL 1 and 2 functionality.

    On Firefox I get a full page of useful information: Annotation 2019-09-03 231933.jpg On Chrome and Brave I literally get nothing...

    Problem must be with your browser configuration. Maybe try to reset/reinstall.

    Nope, It happens on all chromium based browsers from Chrome, to De-googled Chromium to Brave To Edge Canary.

    Yeah this happened to me as well, but I figured out how to fix it. Go into flags and turn WebGl Draft Extensions to Enabled.
