- * navigator.xr allows any page script to learn the VR displays attached
- * to the computer and more.

- * U. Iqbal, S. Englehardt and Z. Shafiq, "Fingerprinting the
- * Fingerprinters: Learning to Detect Browser Fingerprinting Behaviors,"
- * in 2021 2021 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (SP), San Francisco,
- * CA, US, 2021 pp. 283-301 observed
- * (https://github.com/uiowa-irl/FP-Inspector/blob/master/Data/potential_fingerprinting_APIs.md)
- * that the orginal WebVR API is used in the wild to fingerprint users. As it is
- * likely that only a minority of users have a VR display connected and the API
- * provides additional information on the HW, it is likely that users with
- * a VR display connected are easily fingerprintable.
- *
- * As all the API calls are accessible through the navigator.xr API, we provide
- * a single mitigation. We disable the API completely. This might need to be
- * revised once this API is commonly enabled in browsers.
