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 know. Both have the same fundamental premise: to leak data that shouldn’t be leaked.

    “WebUSB provides a way for these non-standardized USB device services to be exposed to the web. This means that hardware manufacturers will be able to provide a way for their device to be accessed from the web, without having to provide their own API.”

    That’s from Mozilla. And that’s a hard pass. Why anyone wants this is beyond me. Just so long as there’s a flag to turn it off.

      Have you worked with either before? They’re completely unrelated technologies, with similar names. They have nothing to do with one another. They’re not even being developed by the same groups. They emphatically do not have the same fundamental premise. I’ve built apps in WebRTC before, and I can guarantee it has nothing to do with WebUSB, and in fact I just confirmed in the docs that it has nothing to do with any sort of device-level hardware control.

      To reiterate: the only connection between WebUSB and WebRTC is the fact that they’re named “Web” + three letter initialism.

          I have absolutely no idea what that’s intended to mean.

              Oh cool, ad hominem. The clearest and most humble concession of defeat. Very well, I accept your capitulation.

                  I have no need to claim it when you so freely offer it.
