I don't know why, but the web serial api is disabled in FreeBSD chromium
builds. This means I can't manage serial devices via my web browser (a comm=
on
thing these days). eg: I have multi programable keyboards, and they use a
website and serial communications to maintain the device.

This was raised in the FreeBSD Forum, where I discovered that it wasn't user
permission issues, but rather that chromium is not built with Serial API
enabled.
