When you use it the browser pops up a window to select a device to connect, I'm not sure if the website can see anything until you actually pick a device and allow.

Yes there is a risk of bugs being exploited just like any other feature in a browser. Another example is WebRTC being used to de-cloak VPN users. I think WebGPU and/or WebGL also had exploits that allowed remote code execution or escaping the browser sandbox.
WebRTC being used to de-cloak VPN users
The clock of my device always match with the location of the server of my VPN provider
How van you do that? Im using fedora and Android om phone.
I manually set the ntp server of my device to match with the location of my VPN server and use an pp to see the time of my real location.
Im a noob, where to find NTP server and what is pp? I'm using fedora🙂
You don't need to change your ntp server exactly you can just set the time zone settings of your device (android)to match the same region of your VPN server. if you want to go a step further you have the option (not mandatorily) to change the NTP server of your device.
Okay. Thank you. I'm learning everyday 😄
If they can, I'm going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB
