EXT_color_buffer_float
WebGL Extension
What is EXT_color_buffer_float?
The EXT_color_buffer_float extension is part of the WebGL API and adds the ability to render to a variety of floating point formats. Makes seven sized formats color-renderable: R16F, RG16F, RGBA16F, R32F, RG32F, RGBA32F, and R11F_G11F_B10F for use with renderbufferStorage(). Available in WebGL2 only; for WebGL1, use EXT_color_buffer_half_float or WEBGL_color_buffer_float.

Usage in Web Scraping & Anti-Bot Bypass
Modern anti-bot systems verify WebGL extensions to detect automated browsers. Mismatches between GPU hardware and available extensions are strong bot signals.
What Anti-Bot Systems Check:
- Extension availability: Does the reported GPU support these extensions?
- Extension combinations: Are the extensions typical for this GPU model?
- Consistency checks: Do reported extensions match other GPU signals?
- Missing extensions: Are expected extensions for this GPU absent?
