Preliminary checklist

  • I have read the README
  • I have read the FAQs.
  • I have searched existing issues for my feature request. This is a new issue (NOT a duplicate) and is not related to another issue.
  • I have searched wont fix issues and this request is not among them
  • This is a feature request for the Cromite browser; not the website nor F-Droid nor anything else.

Is your feature request related to privacy?

Yes

Is there a patch available for this feature somewhere?

done by me

Describe the solution you would like

currently await navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices() shows the devices in the system.
a new flag was added in 119 that hides more than 1 devices per type (audioinput, audiooutput, videoinput).
the idea is to always hide videoinput if the user has not given permission: this would not allow to know whether the user has a webcam installed in the system.

Describe alternatives you have considered
