Description

This is a request for the Matrix client support table that shows `✓` or `-` based on if a client supports a specific feature...

This request is meant to show what metadata a particular client collects about a device, since it's widely known clients like Element collect a lot about a user's machine at any given moment (without analytics enabled), while clients like Nheko collect no more than what metadata is needed for the protocol to function

It would be nice to have a table which displays everything about this information in a user-friendly format.
