The question is will Safari support this in the future? Also can users disable these integrations? I am really not interested giving websites access to NFC or HIDs.
- madeofpalk 6y agoI highly doubt Safari will ever support this on any of it's platforms. And to be honest, I'm not sure if I will really ever miss it. I opened up the demo that flashed my backlight keyboard (after chrome prompted for some generic hardware permissions) and, while it was cool, I'm not entirely enthusiastic about websites being able to control my hardware like this with such low user intent.
- dmitriid 6y agoNeither Safari nor Mozilla will support these features. WebUSB is considered harmful by both. As is WebNFC if I remember correctly. WebHID has the same concerns as WebUSB. Moreover, some of these are implemented and rushed into stable versions of Chrome even before other browser implementors even had the chance to weigh in on the specification. See, for example, https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459 https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459
