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?

I must try these, the only one I found was fennec, it did give accurate gyro information.

Weird, my Fennec must've had additional configurations I forgot about since it didn't give out that info. I uninstalled it for IronFox so I can't check it! I mentioned LibreWolf but that's on desktop, so no gyro info there

I wonder what else the desktkps see. Where do you get ironfox?

IronFox from here:

https://github.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

desktop should "leak" more or less the same data, I think
