I can think of many potential use cases; some are small and others are larger and more involved.
I’d love to be able to have WebExtensions be able to add widgets (or even simple buttons) to the Touch Bar. It might also be helpful if the developer tools could be exposed there, if the developer chooses to do so. I’ve posted a long list on one of the Touch Bar related bugs, so I’ll just drop those two thoughts here for now. :) > On Jan 3, 2017, at 12:17 PM, Stephen A Pohl <sp...@mozilla.com> wrote: > > We are gathering ideas for possible use cases of the Touch Bar on the > new MacBookPro and would like to hear from you!
