[SOLVED] WebGL is disabled by default when using mesa-amber.

So, I have switched from mesa to mesa-amber recently because of rendering issues which I found on the normal mesa version. That might be because my GPU is very old (I have an Intel Celeron E3300 with integrated graphics). When using mesa, WebGL is enabled by default when launching the browser. When using mesa-amber, the only make WebGL enabled is launching the web browser with the variable "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1" on the terminal. Is there a way to make WebGL enabled by default even when using mesa-amber?

EDIT: I haven't specified it here, but I'm using Xorg.

how sure are you you werent already on the software renderer on standard mesa anyway? You most likely were, but to verify post a xorg log and

glxinfo -B

from both mesa setups

The older driver does not report OpenGL 2.1 compat, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ … 915_driver for trying to enable it... chances are that this is precisely what causes "rendering issues" but it might be worth a shot

Your solution has just solved my problem. Thank you so much! Also, I will remember to use code format next time, sorry for forgetting about that.
