The Kensington Expert Mouse is in the upper echelons of the sturdiest/most accurate trackballs ever made, but it has a flimsy wrist-pad attachment bridge and the sensor collects dust, requiring a thorough delinting every few months. No

It's actually a very rich database. It's not just simple pairings, but includes nuances that would take many different fields to capture: Dish X can be made vegan, but tastes better if you then order with extra seasoning.

Chrome must clearly see this as the end of the road on Windows and MacOS. What incentive do the OS vendors have to champion full-access APIs having feature parity for OS-level JS engines?

While I agree with permission overload at install time, users pay more attention when permission prompts come up one at a time at first-use. It also gives the app a reason to stagger in permissions only when the feature is used, lest the us
