## Overview
Chromium graphics features are among the most complex parts of the browser. This
document is a snapshot of our evolving understanding of graphics features from

omitted, but the intent is to give VRP contributors a boost when getting started
with unfamiliar graphics features.
## In Pictures: WebGL and WebGPU
The diagram below is a simplified view of WebGL and WebGPU with a focus on
components of particular interest to attackers.
