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?
