That's how it works on Firefox

I don't agree. JavaScript was definitly not fine when it started and because of it, people had to create multiple libraries and framework to go around differences in web-browsers. They got used to libraries and big framework as they really were necessary first. Now that JavaScript is pretty good, they are still used to frameworks and libraries which are very often unnecessary.

Indeed security and usability do contradict each other but in that case, I prefer Firefox approach for more security/privacy

Most people accept without reading and thinking about the consequences. Firefox refused WebUSB to protect those people.

No, native app is not platform lock-in... You just need to choose the OS correctly and also the app. The SDK for advertising can be present in both. The sandboxing does exist in OS. And you clearly loose control over the App when the website is taken down while you can still use the native app. If native platform remove support for USB or BLE, your web browser cannot use it either so no USB/BLE at all. Users can choose but native is a lot better for privacy and security if the OS and the app are chosen correctly.

It bas been and that's why Firefox refused to implement it. It's good that this is done with a plugin as it is not on by default as mist people do not understand the risks. Making it more difficult offers a bit more protection for most people. Google is known for launching stuff in the webbrowser without thought from a security and privacy standpoint. They are business oriented, not privacy oriented.

Agreed. Not much differences between new phones and couple years older phones if you are not doing crazy gaming on phones. At least for me but maybe some of you might have good reasons to upgrade and can tell us ?

Yes you can! It was done with many phones in the past...

Obviously... They are not made for safety critical systems. It's for hobbyists.

> You don't need long cables, just a local power source

Which means batteries that have to be replaced and maintained or cables... So ethernet with PoE or even better SPE (single pair Ethernet) with PoDL (power over data lines which is PoE for SPE) is the best from my point of view

SPE with multidrop and PoDL would be awesome ! They are working on that and it will be everywhere.

Europe has good software companies. It's just that the US has bigger VC funding which makes European companies unable to compete when US/EU companies are "fighting".

Using multiple vehicles also increase maintenance. It totally makes sense to use the right tool. You might not want to learn how to use a screw driver instead of a hammer but both have their use.
