Vivaldi was found wanting.
Firefox was quite a bit better.
Firefox Focus was basically the same.
Surprisingly Cromite was the best overall.
All, for whatever reason, reported the exact gyroscope position.
My question is why the fuck do browsers even report this data

@liquidparasyte @Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social weird but nice to know that iOS and Safari are at least smart enough to block gyroscope and battery by default

@liquidparasyte @Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social felt a bit better after I read https://vivaldi.com/blog/shared-networks-tracking-fingerprinting/ and noticed that the battery level was indeed inaccurate
