Ability to spoof Unmasked Vendor and Unmasked Renderer in WebGL api.

[khorezm0]

Hello. I'm wondering if this feature has been considered and if any decision has been made.

Unmasked renderer is a full gpu description, which includes device name.
On my windows pc it looks like this (latest cromite release) after i turned webgl on.

I ask you, why?

To mitigate webgl fingerprinting. My intention is to use cromite browser on vds server, and knowing the fact that such servers has no gpu, that value always gonna be the same. I know that it is not a big deal for most of users, but i am just wondering.

To mitigate webgl fingerprinting

cromite mitigates fingerpriting by completely disabling webgl and thus the retrieval of that information.
if the user re-enables it, it completely re-enables the functionality.
from my point of view it makes no sense to enable half of it.
