@balloob As far as I remember @mozilla once stated that they would have not implemented it because it was a potential huge secturity threat, I just wonder what made change their mind.

    @paoloredaelli It's “neutral” now https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webserial, and a discussion here https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/687 @balloob @mozilla

    @paoloredaelli @balloob @mozilla It seems like somewhere during the ongoing Chromebook era there was a mentality shift that a web browser should be able to do practically everything an OS could. At this point, what's left in terms of what a web browser /can't/ do? The framing has helped Linux because apps now seem as likely to be created for the web as they are for the dominant desktop OS.

    @paoloredaelli @balloob @mozilla I would imagine popularity as well as them just figuring out a security model for implementing it. Maybe, like Chrome, it's not persistent between page loads and must be reauthorized every visit per-device.
