I didn't like that it was able to obtain my battery information. I discovered that this can be prevented in Firefox by setting dom.battery.enabled to "false" under about:config.

Scanning the visitor's /24 without notice, warning, or opportunity to opt out is a dick move. Our IDS probably just lit up like a Christmas tree.

I found it interesting that it could read my battery level and discharging time. As for device orientation, I think I've seen that before but I had forgotten about it being possible.
You write "To prevent your browser from accessing your Device Orientation use NoScript." under the Network Scan section. Looks like copy / pasta.
I didn't realize that browser would spill my local IP address, or might be able to scan local devices in the same network. Shouldn't browsers have settings to enable/disable access to device sensors or data?
