As soon as I saw these APIs being added I immediately dropped into about:config and disabled them. How the hell do these people think this is a good idea to do without asking any permissions?

Put these in your user prefs.js file on Firefox:

user_pref("dom.battery.enabled", false);

user_pref("device.sensors.enabled", false);

user_pref("dom.vibrator.enabled", false);

user_pref("dom.enable_performance", false);

user_pref("dom.network.enabled", false);

user_pref("toolkit.metrics.ping.enabled", false);

user_pref("dom.gamepad.enabled", false);

Here's my full firefox config currently:

Privacy on the web keeps getting harder and harder. Of course this should only be used in conjunction with maxed out ad blockers, anti-anti-adblockers, privacy badger and disconnect.

We need browsers to start asking permission. When you install an app on Android or iOS it says "here's what it's going to use, do you want this?". The mere presence of the popup would annoy people and prevent them from using these APIs.
