Warn users with outdated drivers/hardware about lack of WebGL support/blacklist #14
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I tried to introduce an user to FastDMM2, which I later learned to have old hardware and still running Windows 7. They were just presented with this on both Firefox and Chrome:
This is because the WebGL cannot be initialized on the user's browser due to outdated AMD drivers, which apparently to which exists no updates or newer versions. As suggested by these cryptic console messages:
Which is not an issue that's either related or within control of FastDMM2, I thought a feature request for a warning prompt about errors like these would help. Rather than putting users off with only a blank screen.
Describe the solution you'd like
If the WebGL has failed to be initialized for any reason, like these. Show the user a prompt about the GL context failed to initialize due to e.g. outdated drivers or corrupted configuration.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Support threads and tickets related to this issue on Firefox's support site has suggested to use webgl.force-enabled set to true in about:config. But in this user's particular case, it made no difference.
