WebGL (Short for Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. WebGL is fully integrated with other web standards, allowing GPU-accelerated usage of physics and image processing and effects as part of the web page canvas. WebGL elements can be mixed with other HTML elements and composited with other parts of the page or page background.
WebGL programs consist of control code written in JavaScript and shader code that is written in OpenGL ES Shading Language (GLSL ES), a language similar to C or C++, and is executed on a computer's graphics processing unit (GPU).

HOW TO DISABLE WEBGL :-

Chrome :

1. Find the shortcut of the Chrome Browser, right click on it and select "Properties"
2. The "Target" line contains the path to the file that launches the browser. It should end in chrome.exe. After that .exe put a space and add the entry -disable-webgl
3. Now, under this shortcut, the Chrome browser will start with WebGL disabled.

Firefox :

1. In the address bar enter about:config
2. Search for webgl
3. Find line webgl.disabled, if is set to false then set it to true for disabling WebGL.
