The deviceMemory
read-only
property of the Navigator
interface returns the approximate amount of
device memory in gigabytes.
The reported value is imprecise to curtail fingerprinting. It's approximated by rounding down to the nearest power of 2, then dividing that number by 1024. It is then clamped within lower and upper bounds to protect the privacy of owners of very low- or high-memory devices.
Value
A floating point number; one of 0.25
