The browser opens a popup asking you if you want to grant access to a specific device for a specific website, it's not like random websites can just run adb commands on your phone

Yeah but still, I'd want that to only remotely be a thing. Like require enabling a developer setting for it.

That's a great way to kill adoption of a feature. But what has WebUSB done to you?

Chrome has had WebUSB since 2017. I really appreciate it for one-off configurators and those types of tools.
