That would be me for one. I hate it when google sneaks in privacy reducing preferences that are automatically turned on. I like to occasionaly go through settings to see what has changed and was surprised when an update showed up a whole host of new active features.
Why on earth should usb ports on my laptop be automatically exposed to any web page that demands it? Chrome can do that now. And not just usb/serial/midi ports, and motion sensors, chrome has also enabled 'presence' (a way for sites to know when you're actively using the browser). I found that creepy.
- Nzen 4y agoMy first thought ends with 'enabling yubikey-style mfa', but it seems that some [0] hardware vendors use webusb to enable a binary protocol, rather than translating their usb sensor output into (keyboard) scancodes.
