Comment:

 Revised: https://github.com/acatarineu/tor-browser/commit/13543+1.

 Out of curiosity, is there a reason why `MediaCapabilitiesInfo(true, true,
 true)` is better than `MediaCapabilitiesInfo(true, true, false)`, or is it
 just that we had to pick one? In Linux `(true, true, false)` seems to be
 more common, but maybe the other is more found in Windows and Mac?
