Is WebHID for Firefox safe?
WebHID for Firefox exposes a WebHID shim to every site and forwards approved HID reports to a local provider.
The extension injects a page-level navigator.hid implementation on all websites, not just device-management pages. After a user approves a device in its prompt, pages can exchange HID reports through the extension's local WebSocket provider, and the extension also strips Wootility pages' meta Content-Security-Policy so its shim can run there.
