What is EXT_color_buffer_half_float?

The EXT_color_buffer_half_float extension is part of the WebGL API and adds the ability to render to 16-bit floating-point color buffers. Provides RGBA16F_EXT and RGB16F_EXT constants for use with renderbufferStorage(). Available in both WebGL1 and WebGL2; implicitly enabled by OES_texture_half_float extension.

Browser Support

Checking Extension Support
This extension is part of the Both specification. Browser support varies based on:
  • Graphics card model and capabilities
  • GPU driver version
  • Browser version and vendor
  • Operating system

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?
Scrapfly's Anti-Scraping Protection (ASP)
Scrapfly automatically manages WebGL fingerprint consistency, ensuring all extensions match the emulated GPU profile. This prevents detection by anti-bot systems that verify WebGL data.
