The platform status for WebGPU in webstatus.dev, the feature explorer, etc. all seem wrong for Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers. IIRC, we shipped WebGPU first, starting with Desktop in 113 (May 2023):
https://chromestatus.com/feature/6213121689518080
And later to Android in 121 (Jan 2024):
https://chromestatus.com/feature/5119617865613312
A drumbeat of follow-up features have continued to launch since, and have wide coverage:

Can we get this entry updated with these fixes?

Based on https://web.dev/blog/webgpu-supported-major-browsers, I think this is still partially implemented in Chromium.
@beaufortfrancois has this changed?
If not, we'll need support for partial implementations and notes in web-features to show more fine-grained support data here (and on webstatus.dev, the feature explorer, etc.).
I left a comment about this in web-platform-dx/web-features#915 (comment).

https://web.dev/blog/webgpu-supported-major-browsers LGTM modulo https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-webgpu-144#webgpu_on_linux and https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-webgpu-147-148#webgpu_on_linux_nvidia which shows that Linux support is rolling out on chromium-based browsers.
