Re: [web-nfc] How to get started? (#145)

Hi @richardszalay Thanks for the feedback. We are back at working on this after having landed Generic Sensors.

We have modernized the API so expect changes the coming months before we start an origin trial.

Yes, it will only work on platform that has native drivers for NFC (not for plugging in a USB NFC reader etc) - so thus far only Android

True, that was for avoiding finger printing - has that turned out to be an actual problem?

Can you please file a bug at crbug.com/new ?
