Ok. So we have asserted that the failure is after the permissions check. And the actual privacy in the above hinges on the assumption that trackers "would not risk a prompt" (quoted from #697) to try for permissions. So with that in mind, it is the context for my previous question, which went unanswered but is especially relevant now: > given these steps: > > 1. getUserMedia > 1. permissions check: user may be prompted > 1. device gets successfully opened > > there is no upgrade in privacy happens after the completion of step 2. Waiting for step 3, which the spec forces, has no privacy benefit. Step 2 is the "prompt" in the quote above. It is passing of step 2 which is meaningful -- tracker (or genuine web page) took risk on a prompt; user accepted it. What, if any, increased privacy happens by completing step 3? -- GitHub Notification of comment by hills Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/709#issuecomment-688910112 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
