I found it interesting that it knows my battery level and current orientation of the phone.
I can understand the latter since it might want to render differently, but why does it need to know the battery level?
So that Uber will charge you a higher rate when the battery is low
I don't even know it it's /s anymore
certainly how making your battery level available to apps is getting used I'm sure
Potentially to activate battery-saving features? Like AMOLED-black mode if your battery is <15 % or something (and your screen is AMOLED)
Shouldn't that be the provenance of the device itself though. My phone already allows me to set a threshold when it should go to night mode for example. The system can tell the browser to switch rendering to night mode. There's no real reason for the browser then to report to the site.
On Firefox android both the battery level and graphics card information were not available. But it was described as another data point regardless.
It got my phone's orientation wrong
Same tbh
