Seeing people argue that Chrome is Goodโข๏ธ because of "features" in the engine that Google imposed on everybody through its hold on the Web is going to turn me into the fucking joker.
WebUSB exists because Google wants to sell Chromebooks, not because it's a good idea.
Google would love to make the Web Chrome-only if it could. They almost did it with the Web Integrity bullshit and they'll try again and again until they succeed and it feels like they will in the long-run and it fucking sucks.
Call me a boomer but I swear I see that shit from clearly people who aren't old enough to have lived through the 2000s when Firefox/proto-Chrome competed on merit instead of what we have now, which is Google making the rules and everybody having to follow them.
STOP LETTING GOOGLE ACT LIKE THEY OWN THE FUCKING WEB, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
No see we really need uhhhhhhh WebDildo it's a critical feature we need to make a website yeah it's a shame we can't support a browser that doesn't support WebDildo we need it to display ads
In the modern age, with all the classic software means of interfacing with Sony's NetMD Minidisc recorders now all but unusable, there is one very good piece of software that can interface with the recorders easily, importing and recording discs over a standard USB connection with no frills, multi platform and everything. Just one problem.
It's only usable through a website.
If the website goes down, you can't use the software, because the software is the website. There is no way to install an offline version of the program, albeit it's open-source so one could, I dunno, spin up their own personal server for it?
Anyways it's dumb as hell that it's not just a normal installable program that does all its work on my damn computer I'm using anyways. If I have WebUSB to blame for this then Google is at fault for making things worse.
