(Speaking to the subject, not the justification) To be more private than Chrome, Firefox needs those labels for in-content device selection. > Currently, sites get access to either all devices and all labels (Chrome) or the "granted" device and all labels (Firefox) (not sure what others do). To me, the headline here is: *"Only grant device user has given permission to"*. Unless the spec can reign in Chrome's model, I see no net privacy gains from making it harder for user agents to make more private choices, only harm. > Privacy-by-default flow: > > Initially site has access to no devices or device labels > > 1) site asks for category (or categories) of device > 2) browser prompts user for one, many or all devices > 3) site gains access to only the device, and device label, of the hardware the user selects. Are you saying all browsers need to implement this, or are these hoops only for those that do? Mozilla argued for this 7+ years ago and lost. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jan-ivar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/640#issuecomment-549890020 using your GitHub account
