use JavaScript to detect GPU used from within your browser

webgl-detect-gpu.js

var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var gl;
var debugInfo;
var vendor;
var renderer;

try {
  gl = canvas.getContext('webgl') || canvas.getContext('experimental-webgl');
} catch (e) {
}

if (gl) {
  debugInfo = gl.getExtension('WEBGL_debug_renderer_info');
  vendor = gl.getParameter(debugInfo.UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL);
  renderer = gl.getParameter(debugInfo.UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL);
}

// Sample output:
//
// » console.log(renderer);

Hello anyone,

I have a data set of webgl debugger renderer similar to what is generated by this webgl-detect-gpu.js. My interest is to try and detect from this data which one is malicious or fraudulent. Does anyone has an idea how I could do that using a python script or bash script?

If can be usefull to anyone:
changing line https://gist.github.com/cvan/042b2448fcecefafbb6a91469484cdf8#file-webgl-detect-gpu-js-L8
to
gl = canvas.getContext('webgl', { powerPreference: "high-performance" }) || canvas.getContext('experimental-webgl', { powerPreference: "high-performance" });

allow you to create the canvas using the -if any- high performance GPU

Hey, thanks for putting this up! It really helped me.
