Friend gave me access to his Adobe account (I'm never giving Adobe money again), and it looks like they don't even support Firefox. That means I'm not using even the one remaining browser-based Adobe service that's left.

Adobe forcing you to use Chrome instead of Firefox to use their service

I had never even heard of it before and upon looking it up... I struggle to grasp why any web app, website or anything on the internet would ever need access to my USB devices, isn't USB device management the OS's job? Like, call me stupid here, but I see no genuine use case for this.

Some oscilloscopes use the browser, e.g. OpenScopeMZ from digilent. Then there's Via for configuring custom keyboards, other than that nothing comes to my mind.

I don't fully agree with these, but these are the cases I've heard of:

  • Deeper integration with webcams
  • USB authentication devices like Yubikeys

I think these are better served with extensions or specific browser protocols that communicate with native apps in order to keep the crazy web world more isolated from the high-value computer world, but what do I know? My guess is that someone at Google went "You know, we're creating a lot of these specific protocols to communicate with webcams, printers, and now we want to do authentication dongles. You know what? They all use USB? Why don't we just create a general way to access USB?"
