What is KHR_parallel_shader_compile?

The KHR_parallel_shader_compile extension is part of the WebGL API and enables non-blocking poll operations for compile/link status. Provides COMPLETION_STATUS_KHR constant to check shader/program compilation status without stalling the runtime, allowing asynchronous shader compilation for improved loading performance. Available in both WebGL1 and WebGL2.

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.
