KOLANICH has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main: == Replace device enumeration API with a secure widget == ```js navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices(); ``` allows the website to get the list of devices which can be used to identify user and/or his hardware and/or environment. This kind of stuff mustn't be exposed to webpages at all. Instead of this the API should return a list of devices as a list of secure dom nodes (see [this discussion about how such elements should behave](https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29350#c2)), to which the user should be able to interact directly and which are indistinguishable for the web page from each other (their order visible to the webpage should also be random). This will allow a user to select the device but won't allow a webpage to get information about hardware/environment directly. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/311 using your GitHub account
