Details

(Whiteboard: [tor-mobile][fingerprinting][fp-triaged])

User-interface features like the on-screen keyboard (OSK) can shrink the visual viewport without affecting the layout viewport.

This way info about keyboard height can be leaked. So it is proposed to add some mititgations to the spec, s.a. not changing visualViewport on keyboard (de)activations.

Here is the issue: https://github.com/WICG/visual-viewport/issues/63

Whiteboard: [tor-mobile][fingerprinting][fp-triaged]

Thanks for the report. We will monitor the spec issue for any spec changes in this area.

Severity: normal → S3
