What about Safari or mobile browsers?

Safari on Mac does not offer a standard hardware acceleration switch in its settings. There is no equivalent toggle to turn on for this guide.

Using a phone or tablet? These desktop settings do not apply. Mobile browsers generally manage graphics acceleration automatically.

Ready to play

After restarting, reopen the game. If acceleration was already on, leave it enabled. If turning it on causes flickering or crashes, turn it off again and check for browser, operating system and graphics driver updates.
