Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers

    > WebUSB is actually a W3C open standard.

    This is misleading at best. Here’s what the actual spec says <https://wicg.github.io/webusb/>:

    > This specification was published by the Web Platform Incubator Community Group. It is not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track.

    It’s an experimental spec by Google (observe the affiliation of the three editors: all Google); Mozilla has adopted a negative position on it <https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webusb>; WebKit has not remarked upon it.
