Re: [mediacapture-main] Allow ondevicechange to be fired before permission is granted or any device is opened

Can we spell out the details of the "unexpected correlation of 
browsing activity" and how any proposed solution will mitigate it? 
Fingerprinting is very reliable, so any two sites that cooperate can 
already know to a high degree of certainty that they're seeing the 
same user. To really confirm, they can both include an iframe from a 
shared third origin that generates a unique ID, adds it to a 
cookie/localStorage/IndexedDB, and then postMessages it to the two 
sites.

Is there anything that can be learned by observing the timing of 
device changes that cannot already be done?
