Firefox Nightly adds Web Serial after years of saying no

2mon 3d ago by lazysoci.al/u/sabreW4K3 in firefox@fedia.io from www.theregister.com

but still no webusb. bit confusing.

Someone at Mozilla has a pet project that needs webserial (probably 3d printer related) but not webusb.

And no WebBT either. I now need to have a chromium browser on my phone to update my vaporiser. At least the wootility has an electron version, so I don't need an actual chromium desktop browser

WebUSB and WebSerial are super useful to flash microcontrollers and IoT devices as well. It's one of the reasons I keep a Chromium browser on my laptop.
