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.

It’s because they’re using a chrome only API to interact with USB devices. This used to be a dedicated piece of software. I guess they don’t even want to provide an electron app.
Is this an app for recording and editing podcasts? Why do they need usb access for that? On its website it doesn’t says anything about usb.
Microphones, webcams, capture cards, etc
those do not require access to the underlying devices to get tho
It is really frustrating that Firefox doesn’t support webusb. However, it looks like they are implementing it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API
Edit: they’re probably not. See the replies.
Honestly, I kinda hate the idea of a browser being able to access hardware devices.
That’s why no one outside Google wants it. Apple said no. Firefox said no. There’s a reason. WebRTC is shit. It leaks too much just for a small convenience.
And yeah, browsers don’t need my USB ports thanks.
This move was what hurt VIA as they moved to the API exclusively. So the only native apps are just electron wrappers 🤷♂️
At the end we have Flash + ActiveX alltogether again.
That’s their web dev documentation. The
is no.
What do they need that for? Every bowser has a file picker/dragndop.
I see it as them interacting directly with microphones, webcams, and other peripherals.
Every browser manages that too, though.
