Hi.

This warning has been present in Firefox for years. WEBGL_debug_renderer_info provides very useful data for fingerprinting, and until Mozilla actually removes this feature, it can safely be ignored in my opinion. However, given the code you've pasted, I would suggest wrapping the debugInfo declaration in a try catch in case Firefox or another browser removes this feature in the future.

Thanks.

Yeah good point. I'll do this at some point.
