I hate how Chrome is the only browser that gives web developers an actually useful way to use local folders on the user's device.

The File System API — with extensions provided via the File System Access API to access files on the device file system — allows read, write and file management capabilities.

Uhhh, what? Firefox uses Chrome's API to do the same stuff? Am I missing something here?

Oh, does it work in Firefox now? When I was developing a music app it only worked properly on Chrome and I had to use a file picker workaround for Firefox and other browsers.
