------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
In #16005 we made use of the miminal WebGL mode as a middle-ground for
allowing WebGL while not being exposed to its fingerprinting capabilities.
Now that WebGL2 is available (see #16404) we could think about doing
something similar with the information exposed with it.
However, it is not sure whether that is a viable solution at all for at
least two reasons:
1) There is no minimal mode in WebGL2 which would help us.
2) WebGL2 provides probably more powerful and resource-hungry features.
Harmonizing them across older and newer computers while keeping them still
usable might be tricky.
