What is WEBGL_depth_texture?
The WEBGL_depth_texture extension is part of the WebGL API and defines 2D depth and depth-stencil textures. Adds the UNSIGNED_INT_24_8_WEBGL constant and extends texImage2D() to accept DEPTH_COMPONENT and DEPTH_STENCIL formats, enabling shadow mapping and depth-based effects. Available in WebGL1 only; in WebGL2, the constant is gl.UNSIGNED_INT_24_8.

Checking Extension Support
This extension is part of the WebGL1 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.
