Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Sensor APIs (#207)

@dbaron - In Chrome the current (not fully implemented) plan is to ship these sensors on by default, such that users will not be asked for consent. The reasoning being that we've attempted to throttle frequency/resolution to levels where the attacks you mention would be infeasible. Our security/privacy teams felt comfortable that the risk was low enough that it would be ok to enable these sensors by default with indicators that allow users to opt-out.
