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.
