Arguably killed WebSQL and Java applets, for some past examples. Currently it's why WebUSB is not getting picked up by Safari/Firefox.

- Dylan16807 1mo agoJava applets were massively harder to secure than an image decoder and died in a very different era. I don't remember security being an issue with WebSQL. The big complaint was about getting locked too tightly to SQLite's implementation details. I see the security issues with WebUSB as not wanting to step into a minefield, which is pretty different from adding one more C++ library.
