Trezord-go is deprecated; maybe it's good idea to archive and deprecate the repo

I just saw the deprecation notice for this...

Frankly, it's pretty devastating.

One of the main reasons I originally chose Trezor was that it actually supported Firefox and the open-web. Having this daemon meant that it didn't matter what your browser was - as long as it could make local network requests it could support Trezor. Awesome!

Now, that has been deprecated... in favour of WebUSB - a highly controversial W3C spec, pushed by Google, and rejected by both Mozilla and Apple for security and privacy concerns.

Trezor is one of very few wallets that actually supported the open web through it's bridge daemon approach. Now, they too have submitted to the Chromium web. I am just tired of web3 projects touting themselves as the bringer of decentralisation and freedom. Meanwhile, 99% of front-ends only support Chromium-based browsers, riding at the whim of Google...

I mean no disrespect to the devs here - I've really appreciated your work! I'm just sad the rug has been pulled on my primary use-case. I won't be buying Trezor products again in the future, unless the WebUSB spec eventually gets resolved in a way that all major browsers actually agree on the security/privacy safety.

I understand your concern, but you can still use Trezor with 3rd party hardware wallets in browsers that do not support WebUSB. We have moved the featureset of the standalone trezord bridge to our desktop app, Trezor Suite, which offers an option to run the new implementation nodeBridge in the background. This allows users to use the device with Trezor Connect in browsers that do not support the WebUSB standard.
We will post an article about that and update the README of this repository when we archive it.
