It's fine as an extension, not so much as a default-enabled feature. We got the best outcome here.
Edit: Wait, no we didn't. Chrome added WebUSB support after all. Wtf I'm disabling that

The browser opens a popup asking you if you want to grant access to a specific device for a specific website, it's not like random websites can just run adb commands on your phone
Yeah but still, I'd want that to only remotely be a thing. Like require enabling a developer setting for it.
That's a great way to kill adoption of a feature. But what has WebUSB done to you?
Why? The permission dialog is crystal clear.
Chrome has had WebUSB since 2017. I really appreciate it for one-off configurators and those types of tools.
Well it's a stand-alone program too, not just an extension. I kinda wish extensions could act as full programs too but computers need better sandboxing.
