gollark: The user agent is stupid and would instead be feature flags.
gollark: As of now I believe you can check a bunch of things like that without getting permission to access them.
gollark: To reduce fingerprinting, it would not be possible to even *enumerate* cameras and whatever (they have unique IDs) without the user explicitly granting permissions for the appropriate devices.
gollark: I think this is because there's just one implementation of SQLite or something, but it's a public domain and very good implementation.
gollark: But then, despite *every browser* including SQLite anyway, they made IndexedDB, which is a similar thing but more annoying.
