I *badly* want to see a competitive web-based OS fit these markets; the fit is excellent, but there's smoke pouring out of this one already. Some questions for @KaiOStech and @KaiHelps :
First, where's the source code?
At a platform level, this leaves @KaiOStech (and others who want to build off Gecko) with a large proprietary surface area forever.

Those APIs will likely come back as the new variants that Chrome ship with a prompt. Keeping our users safe makes sense to me. As for Midi/USB I don't think anything other than a giant allowlist would keep them safe, who would maintain that?

Glad to hear there's a plan to add those APIs back! Wasn't aware of that. For Midi/USB/BT/Generic Sensor/et. al....the counterfactual matters and nobody I've talked to at Mozilla seems to want to really engage with that.
