                 "] <b>languages:</b> " +

Read only. Must return a frozen array of valid BCP 47 language tags representing either one or more plausible languages, or the user’s preferred languages, ordered by preference with the most preferred language first. (A frozen array type is a parameterized type whose values are references to objects that hold a fixed length array of unmodifiable values.) The same object must be returned until the user agent needs to return different values, or values in a different order.

Whenever the user agent needs to make the navigator.languages attribute of a Window or WorkerGlobalScope object return a new set of language tags, the user agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named languagechange at the Window or WorkerGlobalScope object and wait until that task begins to be executed before actually returning a new value.

The task source for this task is the DOM manipulation task source.

To determine a plausible language, the user agent should bear in mind the following:

• Any information in this API that varies from user to user can be used to profile or identify the user. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)
• If the user is not using a service that obfuscates the user’s point of origin (e.g. the Tor anonymity network), then the value that is least likely to distinguish the user from other users with similar origins (e.g. from the same IP address block) is the language used by the majority of such users. [TOR]
• If the user is using an anonymizing service, then the value “en-US” is suggested; if all users of the service use that same value, that reduces the possibility of distinguishing the users from each other.

To avoid introducing any more fingerprinting vectors, user agents should use the same list for the APIs defined in this function as for the HTTP “Accept-Language” header. (This is a fingerprinting vector.)

Read only. The maximum number of simultaneous touch contacts supported by the device.

partial interface Navigator {
    readonly attribute long maxTouchPoints;

Defined in Pointer Events. The Navigator interface is defined in HTML 5. This specification extends the Navigator interface to provide device and feature detection support.

The maximum number of simultaneous touch contacts supported by the device. In the case of devices with multiple digitizers (e.g. multiple touchscreens), the value must be the maximum of the set of maximum supported contacts by each individual digitizer.

For example, suppose a device has 3 touchscreens, which support 2, 5, and 10 simultaneous touch contacts, respectively. The value of maxTouchPoints should be 10.

This example gets the number of touch points on a device. In Internet Explorer 10, it returns a zero on a mouse only computer, or 1 or more on a touch enabled computer and Windows 8. On earlier versions of Windows, maxTouchPoints returns undefined.

navigator.registerContentHandler()

window.navigator.registerContentHandler(mimeType, url, title)

The registerContentHandler() method allows Web sites to register themselves as possible handlers for content in a particular MIME type. For example, an online telephone messaging service could register itself as a handler for text/vcard files, so that if the user has no native application capable of handling vCards, their Web browser can instead suggest they use that site to view contact information stored on vCards that they open. [SMS] [RFC6350]

Throws a SecurityError exception if the user agent blocks the registration (this might happen if trying to register as a handler for “http”, for instance).

Throws a SyntaxError exception if the “%s” string is missing in the URL.
