 `Microsoft Basic Render Driver` is a system device, therefore it doesn't
 have `VendorID`.
 Vendor lock by Mozilla. What a shame!

 There is a strong opinion to disable it everywhere:

 > Forcing MSAA fixes that error, but doesn't change the fingerprint.
 Bad Mozilla. You need two:
 "To force-enable WebGL, go to about:config and set webgl.force-
 enabled=true.
 To force-enable WebGL anti-aliasing, go to about:config and set webgl
 .msaa-force=true."
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers
 #How_to_force-enable_blocked_graphics_features
 to finally get `224a8abee799ec6381e06293de4565f6`.
