Am I alone in thinking even its Chrome implementation is a massive security risk? The fact that users can grant any webpage COMPLETE control of a USB attached device is astonishing. Live webpages shouldn't be able to access this feature - can't wait for fake jailbreak and backup services to start cropping up.

You can also tack ".json" to the end of most Reddit URLs to get it in JSON format which is much easier to work with when scraping content. It's hardly documented anywhere online as well but interesting that they offer both.
