8BitDo say Ultimate Software Online is their attempt to make things easier for Linux gamers, no need to download a standalone firmware updater app now.

    Cause WebUSB still only exists on Chrome, even though Mozilla and Apple had 9 years to catch up: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API#browser_compatibility

      “to catch up”, while they deliberately choose not to implement this. they don’t just not do it, they outlined why.

        their competitor has an advantage and real leverage, I’d say that’s enough reason in economics? I get why it isn’t implemented, but all that means is that chromium has the high ground when it comes to this.

          This is exactly why economics, or any discipline, should not be permitted to dictate the function or structure of a system in a domain outside of its area of expertise.
