Hello, What about the security? I mean, accessing serial ports is not allowed by js because of the sandboxing, so I think there could be some bad uses of this fearure

I'm thinking of a prompt that would require the user to allow js accessing the serial device for instance

My experience, with default settings in Safari and Firefox, is that whenever I try to use jUART my browser prompts me itself if I want to allow it.
