- Add an informative note to Check Configuration Support clarifying that User Agents can limit provided configurations to a common baseline subset (including Codec Registry extensions) to reduce fingerprinting entropy across both isConfigSupported() and configure(). - Restructure Privacy Considerations into topical non-normative subsections: Codec Capability Fingerprinting, Codec Output Fingerprinting, and Timing and Resource Side-Channels. - Cite Section 7.9 (Hardware Acceleration) anti-fingerprinting rules. - Replace the obsolete "privacy budget" reference and stray RFC 2119 markup with concrete mitigations (common capability baselines, ignoring HardwareAcceleration hints, silent software fallback on hardware exhaustion, probe throttling, bundled software codecs in heightened privacy modes, timing coarsening, pacing/throttling, and normalized buffer pool limits). - Clarify differences between bundled software codecs and OS/hardware codecs, distinguish encoding vs. decoding bit-exactness, and note capturing-context restrictions on hardware stats in WebRTC-Stats.
