      My bad, I worded that badly. What I meant is that the website now has access to those features via the browser (js or some other mechanism). Now suddenly fingerprinting a device can be made easier.

        That’s a valid concern, but according to the article all the website can access is the random public key, or the fact that the feature is unsupported in this browser (for an unspecified reason).

          Yeah, I’ve also read the article. I am just being cautious on how it can be used for other things that cause privacy concern. And so far, I’ve come up blank too.
