- Firefox addon to add WebUSB capabilities

Note this is beyond the capabilities of web extensions, you'd also need the user to install a cooperating native program.

At which point people are just going to make the native program an electron UI and bypass the browser entirely.



why bother with electron madness when you have 20 minute job for pyqt.


Because pyside and PyQT suck in their own way. I mean sure if you only know python, or need python for other stuff, they are fine I guess.

I've had a rather big project (well, a proof of concept turned into a real project, the usual haha) built with pyside6 and looking back, I'd much rather have used electron/ts/JS. But we needed python for other stuff so I guess it made sense at the time.
