Adapters and Devices

Every WebGPU program starts by asking navigator.gpu for a GPUAdapter, the browser's view of one GPU, and then asking the adapter for a GPUDevice, which creates every other object and fixes the limits and optional features your code may use. All output below is real, from this book's machine.
