I think if enough people start actually using it other browsers will eventually implement support. But for now, yeah, it has the downside of being Chrome(ium) only, which makes it far less useful than it could be.

> I think if enough people start actually using it other browsers will eventually implement support. There are several specs (like USB, Bluetooth, and MIDI) which are Chrome only, and for which other browser makers have explicitly stated they don’t agree with and will not support. Further, they have said that their rejection of these specs is due to security issues (e.g. providing full access to local hardware behind a single permission prompt) This is much a higher bar than just lack of interest or resources to getting cross-browser compatibility.
