Holy shit - THAT MAKES SENSE - I use brave and for quite a while, the windows USB disconnect/reconnect sound would randomly sound and I couldn't figure it out - Device manager didn't show any changes when it occurred and there were no strange/unknown devices, nor none of the devices I had connected would sleep or periodically disconnect.
Those fucking bastards.
macOS in a VM clearly exposes it.
Brave USB (pic8.co)
Damn. Is this normal browser behavior or something a dodgy browser would do - would it require permission like "can XYZ access your USB"?
