lknik has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/sensors: == Frequency readout allows fingerprinting sensors, privacy. == Hi, I will put it here just not to forget, we should consider writing something specifying that it will be possible to poll the supported frequencies (hardware/implementation related). 1. Loop through the polled frequencies (e.g. 0 .. 500) 2. Inspect the sensor readout, take into account the readout's timestamp 3. Verify how many readouts per second are supported 4. In the end, it could be possible to inspect the actually supported frequencies. We could add something: "Frequency polling in periodic reporting mode might allow the fingerprinting of hardware or implementation types, by probing which actual frequencies are supported by the platform."
