Apple wont give gyro data but firefox will, firefox wont give battery data but chrome will. Everyone gives screen size and density data.
Why are these data points not discussed with privacy?

Literally posted a suggestion yesterday for a sport project to use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Accelerometer so I definitely see reasons. It might be better with a permission prompt first but still it’s not without reason.
I suppose this is the other side of the I dont want an app for everything view.
Indeed, I try to have as little apps as possible… because I don’t trust them.
Now that I mostly rely on F-Droid it’s a bit different but my default behavior when I have to use an app is “Oh no… you’re going to siphon all my data in exchange for mediocre service I’ll still have to pay for” whereas I trust my browser a lot more.
