Since then, the search giant has updated Google Earth code to use the WebAssembly (Wasm) standard which makes high-performance apps like Google Earth possible on web pages. It only supported Google’s Chrome-only Native Client (NaCl) technology because no better solutions were available at the time.
Google rolled out the redesigned Earth experience back in 2017 with a brand-new web app while dropping the desktop apps at the same time. In 2019, the Mountain View, California-headquartered search giant said that the Google Earth web app would work in Safari once Apple added “better support for WebGL2” to its browser.Īpple’s WebKit website says enhanced WebGL support in Safari is still in development. Namely polishing our experience across all these browsers and adding support for Safari. Google announced via a Medium blog post yesterday that its Google Earth web app now finally works in browsers other than its own Chrome app, such as Mozilla’s Firefox, Microsoft’s Edge and Opera Software’s Opera, but acknowledged that support for Safari is still being worked on.Īccording to the company, the Google Earth team continues work on bringing the Earth web app to Apple’s Safari browser, but cautioned that “we still have some work to do”.
