Add Web3D Survey Collector Script

[Captain-Of-Coit]

What is it?

Web3D Survey solves a common problem that 3D graphics web developers face: which API features can I use reliably? We solve this problem by collecting web graphics API capabilities and features widely across the web and then presenting that data back on this website so 3D graphics web developers can make informed decisions and reliable experiences.

We currently are collecting information on WebGL, WebGL 2, WebGPU and WebXR API features and capabilities.

Re privacy:

The Web3D Survey collector script is GDPR compliant in that we do not use cookies nor do we collect any personal information and we also do not store IP addresses. We are focused on our mission of making the web a better place for 3D graphics and we are not interested in selling your data to advertisers.

How to add:

Do your part to help the web 3D graphics community and embed our collector script on your website:

<script defer src="https://web3dsurvey.com/collector.js"></script>

The Web3d Survey collector script is designed to minimize impact on participating websites: 3kb of JavaScript, runs in 20 ms, only runs after page load has completed (1 second after DOMContentLoaded.)

Link to the website of Web3D Survey which goes into more detail: https://web3dsurvey.com

Would be a great contribution to the Web3D Survey by having it embedded on https://wgpu.rs/

Hello! This looks like an interesting project and something that is needed in the ecosystem.

While I have no reason to believe that this project will do anything malicious, I also don't think I have authority to extend the trust users have in us by visiting wgpu.rs to a third party, especially one with a explicit purpose of data collection and no contractual obligation to privacy.

There are ways that I might consider embedding this, and it would require explicit consent from the user that they are taking part in a 3rd party piece of data collection. Having the data collection script be open source in non-minified form, and explicitly telling the user the data they are sending would help convince users to agree to that consent.

I unfortunately do not have time to do this work, so it would need to done by a contributor.
