For privacy-minded people, hardware switches are a nice thing. I remember when I had a Xiaomi Mi 9T with its popup camera, and it was interesting to see that some websites would trigger said popup camera. While the camera was never actually used, the thing would go up and down. This was even with an ad blocker installed.
Man, it has been a while, as I don’t use the 9T as the daily phone now. I think I recall The Verge as one of the sites, because I wasn’t expecting it from them. It happened only a few times, and it wasn’t site-wide. Can’t remember which pages triggered it though.

My friend had one, and Instagram would often pop it out and back in quickly. That was way back when though.
