Description

Hi, great component.

Unfortunately trying the demo I get WEBGL_UNSUPPORTED whereas https://webglreport.com/?v=1 or v=2 gives me

Linux x86_64 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0
WebGL GLSL ES 3.00
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

and https://get.webgl.org gives me a rotating cube.

Research direction

Reproduce the demo in Mozilla Firefox with anti-fingerprinting protections enabled and compare its WebGL result with the reported WebGL checks. Trace the iframe and WebGL detection entry points, then add a clear restriction warning that explains the security-policy limitation and verify the warning in the affected setup.
