This is considered insecure. Firefox devs think that prompting the user for permission does not inform the user enough about the risk. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674718.

That bug is talking about a custom USB API for Firefox OS.

> Closing as WONTFIX since FxOS is no more

The Web USB API didn't even exist when that bug was first created.

I was thinking more in terms of replacing traditional desktop apps that work with USB like sensors, single-board comp dev, and hardware diagnostic tools (protocol analyzers etc) it’s nice to be able to quickly update a webapp and have native access to usb as needed.
