We are talking here about 40 Cycles Per Nanosecond !! It's not just fascinating, it's Hilariously crazy !
WebUSB was really a very cool approach to connect Web to USB devices in spite of all the security issues that you may or you may not face. I had the chance to work on it and see its limitations two years ago. I found out very small of successful implementations and solutions (Google use it to flash Android from the web, finally (: ).
To make this thread more interactive, I am adding a proof of concept of a code generator to generate WebUSB code :-) https://github.com/hatemben/usbmon
Feel free to fork/test and play with. It's true that there are tons of security issues related to WebUSB, and there are always solutions to security issues. For me WebUSB is dead two years ago, I just remembered to announce it last week.
