From FF92, if you use `WEBGL_debug_renderer_info Firefox (only) displays a console warning:
The API exposes information that can be used for fingerprinting. While the whole extension can be killed using
privacy.resistFingerprintingthe idea was that a safer sanitized API be added. Attempt was made to do that using preference in in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722113 but got rolled back and this note added in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722782.According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722782#c10 it is not clear how this will proceed.
Upshot though is that there is a warning from the console about this, which we should indicate here too.
