Cool. Another feature that Firefox won't support. Same with the WebSerial API and others. I sort of understand their reasoning that they want to make a web browser and not an application platform, but that's where the web is shifting to ... or rather has already for a long time. And people wonder why every new tech/browser is based on Chromium all the time. Well, this is one of the many reasons.

Why would Firefox implement non-standard APIs?
I get what you are trying to bring up as an argument, but even Firefox doesn't argue this way. See their answers on issues related to these kind of APIs.
