> Why we need USB on the browser? Think about updating the firmware of a device, you just go to the webpage, connect the device to the USB and update it, without having to download and install a tool to flash it, for an operation that you need to do just one time. This is only one example of many that we can make, another could be IDEs in the browser to program boards like Arduino, without installing software on the PC. This is a great idea! Now I not only have to be careful what drivers I install, I also have to be careful which websites I visit or they'll drive-by brick my development tools. Thanks! It really should not be easy to update firmware on a device. It should be hard enough that it establishes obvious user intent. And I don't want to use a browser to do this. They're unstable enough without adding in soft real-time requirements. Firefox crashes on me about once per day. Doing it while I'm updating a $3000 JTAG adapter would be an absolute disaster.
