Add restriction warning when embedding a page with this library in iframe due to security policy for Mozilla Firefox (anti-fingerprinting)

Hi, great component.

Unfortunately trying the demo I get WEBGL_UNSUPPORTED whereas https://webglreport.com/?v=1 or v=2 gives me

Linux x86_64 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0
WebGL GLSL ES 3.00
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

and https://get.webgl.org gives me a rotating cube.

Hi, thank you for your report. I am unsure why that would be the case and it will require some investigation.
My initial thinking is that the WebGL context crashes because it is forced in 'high-performance' mode (which indicates to the browser that it should use the most powerful GPU available on the system). Safari 12 was experiencing similar issues.

detect-gpu/src/internal/getWebGLContext.ts

Lines 17 to 25 in 1c3d24d

	powerPreference: 'high-performance',
	stencil: false,
	};
	// Workaround for Safari 12, which otherwise crashes with powerPreference set
	// to high-performance: https://github.com/pmndrs/detect-gpu/issues/5
	if (isSafari12) {
	delete attributes.powerPreference;
	}

If there is a page with and without high performance happy to test there and report back.

FWIW I did test with the WebGL cube precisely because sometimes, silently, WebGL craches but that's usually browser-wide, meaning if one tab fails, others do. Here specifically one WebGL tab worked while I had this error.

At the moment we don't support overriding this option manually in the constructor so I think this is something we might have to introduce and then I can prepare a way for you so you can test this properly in the near future.

For now could you use possibly https://jdashg.github.io/misc/webgl/low-power.html, this should determine if the powerpreference option is the cause of the crash.

{"powerPreference":"low-power"}

{}
  => GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

{"powerPreference":"high-performance"}
  => GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Could you try again with https://pmndrs.github.io/detect-gpu/ and if there are any errors thrown in the console report them please (including the rendered snippet)? It could possibly have something to do with iframing in the sandbox.

It could possibly have something to do with iframing in the sandbox.

In that case we could detect it beforehand and log a error/warning.
