Librewolf question: is this a new feature?

Why does Librewolf (a Firefox fork browser) suddenly keep telling me about various web sites trying to do things with OpenGL? Are those warnings a new feature of Librewolf?

I would think it is probably better to ask on their issue tracker and Reddit page.

Perhaps this will point you in the right direction…hopefully.

What version of Ubuntu are you using? From Ubuntu 25.04 onward Ubuntu installs a utility called Security Center. It gives the user greater control over what applications can access and forces the application to give a request for authorisation.

I think that web sites will certainly trigger a request for authorisation. Then again, LibreWolf might just be doing what its developers promised it would do. Warning you about web sites wanting to change settings of the browser or even the operating system.
