I don't think [isTypeSupported()](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-record/MediaRecorder.html#dom-mediarecorder-istypesupported) increases the fingerprinting: the set of supported profiles is small and has few differences among OSes; it probably never changes among users. E.g. the [implementation status](https://github.com/yellowdoge/mediacapture-record-implementation-status/blob/master/chromium.md) shows which video codecs are implemented in Chrome per platform (there are just a few because Chrome must provide a software fallback in case any hardware-accelerated fail -- this also means that it's not possible for a user to identify those codecs that are hardware accelerated). A malicious site could perhaps infer the OS/platform but that information is already in the User Agent string. Should this analysis be added to the text? -- GitHub Notification of comment by yellowdoge Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-record/issues/142#issuecomment-368140861 using your GitHub account
