snyderp has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main: == Move enumerateDevices behind permission == Currently websites can enumerate hardware capabilities with enumerateDevices(). Querying device capabilities is the kind of pseudo-identifier that allow users to be passively identified / fingerprinted. To prevent this, websites should, to the greatest degree possible, need user permission to query device capabilities. Websites should therefor need permission to access enumerateDevices().
