That's a wgpu-specific extension, not part of the actual WebGPU spec, so you can't use it on the web.

There is a proposal for supporting subgroups in WebGPU proper but it's still in the draft stage.

I'm aware. It is an implementation of the linked proposal.

The `wgpu` implementation linked will make its way into Firefox eventually. Dawn will follow up with a similar one for Chrome.

I was linking it to demonstrate there are no technical hurdles and it's only really approval remaining.
