I am acquainted with the process.
Did you just miss entire premise of the article, how WebHID made the lives of a bunch of working people much better? Would you rather make these people have a much more difficult time now so Firefox diehard can have a “proper” WebHID in 5 years..?
- troupo 3y agoThere's nothing "die hard" about wanting to create a proper standard (and being aware of the trade offs) instead of just implementing whatever Google deigns worthy of throwing up. Now Firefox cannot even implement the "proper HID" because Google has already shipped their version
- jorvi 3y agoI mean, its a pretty binary choice. You'd rather have these repairmen (who are laymen at tech) suffer a really crappy workflow just to have a more "pure" solution in an ephemeral point in the future.
- troupo 3y agoNo, the choice is always more nuanced than that. However, if you believe that the choice is binary, how's this for a measure: world's largest advertising and tracking company with the world's most dominant browser should not be able to just shove whatever it wants into the browser with full disregard for any and all concerns.
