Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

The isFallbackAdapter read-only property of the GPUAdapter interface returns true if the adapter is a fallback adapter, and false if not.
