Re: [csswg-drafts] OS cursor size units and property (#12048)

I just need to say, my immediate thought is the added functionality makes pinpointing users that change cursor size super easy. Not that many people ever change the setting.

So, by using JS to get the result of the style calculation, you end up with a very easily identifiable point of data. When combined with other data available, targeting a specific user or group becomes much easier.

What mechanisms can be put in place to protect privacy here? Ad tech places will eat up data like this to do better targeting. For just one example of potential abuse.
