    We don’t have any updates on WebUSB right now - that spec is more complicated and we have some additional security concerns.

      Is the security a big deal? GraphineOS, which marks security as their number one concern, has a first-class web installer that uses it.

      If there was any chance that this method was being secure, surely they would be the first ones to criticize it, no?

        Read the lengthy thread; we have been going back and forth on this for years

        Believe it or not, graphene might be very intelligent on mobile security but that’s no guarantee across other tech. Not to mention the inherit motive to make their operating system easy to install so people can more easily use it.

          I believe it, but Graphine itself makes a huge deal about verifying the validity of their own installation. They also prefer Chromium-based browsers for security.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don’t post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
