Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-chromium (Nobody) <chromium@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 280733: www/chromium: web serial api access is disabled https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280733 --- Description --- I don't know why, but the web serial api is disabled in FreeBSD chromium builds. This means I can't manage serial devices via my web browser (a common thing these days). eg: I have multi programable keyboards, and they use a website and serial communications to maintain the device. This was raised in the FreeBSD Forum, where I discovered that it wasn't user permission issues, but rather that chromium is not built with Serial API enabled. https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/manage-usb-devices-via-chromium-serial-api.9 2255/post-652150 Examples of website with serial web api functionality 1. https://manager.charachorder.com/config/layout/ 2. https://www.serialterminal.com
