Add WebGL as new request type or add it to Other

[lucianposton]

Consider adding WebGL as a new request type or adding WebGL to the Other type.

You can see the behavior at https://browserleaks.com/webgl

FWIW, as a comparison, noscript has a separate category for WebGL (and for Fonts). Something similar I would find useful in uMatrix.

Why ? WebGL is called via a JavaScript - https://browserleaks.com/js/webgl.js?1019849692 It's not even a request type. Blocking script will suffice.

WebGL is not a network request type, it's a javascript API.

I didn't say I was against doing something, just pointed out that it does not fit in the matrix UI itself. It might fit as a per-scope switch though, I want to ponder more about this.

Thinking further on this, maybe such a feature would make more sense in a separate extension such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webapi-manager/ (though that is unmaintained)

WebGL might get added to Feature Policy list which is a WIP atm.
