The question I was looking to answer was whether I could open tab A, get a deviceId, and then open tab B to the same origin and get the same deviceId. I'm not clear on whether that would work based on https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/359#issuecomment-218928754. Also, if I navigate away, then hit the back button, what then? Lots of other page state is maintained, would this be cleared? Would it then be inconsistent with the rest of the page state? FWIW, it's fine if a browser decides to expire device identifiers on whatever timescale they deem appropriate. But while I think that the availability of that choice is important, I don't think that clearing in this specific fashion helps. Indeed, I would prefer if browsers did not clear like this, but I am happy to keep this a point of browser choice: we each make different trade-offs in this space. -- GitHub Notification of comment by martinthomson Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/359#issuecomment-219228082 using your GitHub account
