WebSaver uses the OS X system web page rendering framework WebKit, just as 
Safari does. WebGL support is not enabled in WebKit prior to the version of 
WebKit shipped with OS X v10.10 Yosemite, so the solution to the problem is to 
upgrade to Yosemite. I tried this URL in Safari 8 on Yosemite, and in WebSaver 
2.5 on Yosemite, and it worked fine in both.

Some older versions of WebKit do have WebGL but it is not enabled by default. 
Safari on earlier versions of OS X than Yosemite (back to Safari 5.1 on Mac OS 
X v10.6 Snow Leopard) have a Develop menu which can be enabled, and in that 
menu there is an option to turn on WebGL support. But naturally that only 
applies to Safari, not to WebSaver or any other programs that use WebKit.

So either this bug should be closed as invalid, wontfix, notabug, or whatever 
the equivalent is in this issue tracker, or it can be reclassified as an 
enhancement request and WebSaver could be enhanced to offer a feature similar 
to Safari's where WebGL support can be enabled in those older versions of 
WebKit which offer WebGL support but do not enable it by default.

Regarding your comment "safari 6.0 can handle a lot of things that this app 
seems to not", more specifics are needed, but perhaps it would be better to 
file additional tickets for any additional perceived missing features, since 
this ticket is specifically about missing WebGL support.
