There has been a lot of thought put into this from a privacy perspective. The
actual exposure is limited to a count of devices of each type, plus, if we
include "group" correlation of matched devices.
There's a tension here between usability and privacy. I expect browsers to
include controls that allow a user to control this exposure.
