Comment:

 FWIW: we should use this bug as well to think about possible issues
 with/solutions for the MediaCapabilities API as well.
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1461454 is the tracking bug
 on Mozilla's side. Research by tjr suggests that this is indeed not only
 an OS fingerprinting vector, thus raising prio. See the thread on tbb-dev
 for more details: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tbb-
 dev/2019-January/000946.html
