Adding security, compatability, and vendor lock-in issues in exchange for convenience is not a good thing. Remember ActiveX and Silverlight? They forced users into uning IE. I am still finding industrial applications whos only config page is some ancient, IE only, nightmare.
Cant wait for Adobe Flash to make a comeback resulting in us being forced to use it to do something asinine like pay rent
In this case the spec is published, so it wouldn’t be a lock-in or compatibility issue if the other vendors didn’t lock themselves out.
Security, I get, but when I’ve used it to flash esp32s before the user agent pops up a box asking me which device I want to give access to before the website sees anything, so it’s not transparent and it doesn’t give it access to everything on my system.
I use Firefox all the time, but keep a Chromium on my system basically for stuff like this occasionally, and also web calls because Firefox’s implementation of the audio API doesn’t let me change microphones in the webapp, it just exposes one mic, and I’ve had issues with that before, so I join all calls in Chromium.
