Was browsing on the GrapheneOS website and came across a new thing called WebUSB, which is essentially a JS API through which GrapheneOS web installer worked.
This got me wondering, if website could read what’s plugged into my computer like my phone or disks, isn’t that a huge risk to privacy? I don’t know how this works (haven’t used it) so I would like to know about its privacy.
AFAIK Firefox doesn’t allow this API, so that’s a relief (I use librefox), but what about other browsers? I am getting a bit paranoid.
[Also, are there other APIs like these; which are a privacy nightmare that websites could use?]
If they can, I’m going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB
