Great, so now a mis-click and your browser will have a field day infecting your printer, coffee machine and all the other crap that was previously shielded by NAT and/or a firewall.

As long as they don't change the spec, this will only be available to special locally installed apps in enterprise ChromeOS environments. I don't think their latest weird app format is going to make it to other browsers, so this will remain one of those weird Chrome only APIs that nobody uses.

  > special locally installed apps in enterprise ChromeOS environments There was https://developer.chrome.com/docs/apps/overview https://developer.chrome.com/docs/apps/overview though, so this seems to be a kind of planned feature creep after deprecating former one? "Yeah our enterprise partners now totally need this, you see, no reasoning needed"
