I posted this in a reply, but I think it warrants its own thread.
Allowing web pages to talk to serial / USB ports: I think this feature would be a good candidate for having zone-level permissions. At present, the only options are
"Site permissions/ Serial ports
Will block if turned off"
Games running in browsers: we can get pretty decent refresh rates now (not GoW but ok for strategy games / slightly annoyed birds), it would be handy to be able to control a web app via an xbox controller. I have it working in a WinForms app, I wonder if it would work in Blazor?
To be clear, the XBox controller already registers itself on the PC and it appears as a node in Device Manager, the HID structures are already defined.
HTML 5 adds the ability to talk to the GPS etc, how about more generic devices? There is a "USB Devices " node in Edge-Dev's permissions screen, see above.
