Notes

Many devices are not equipped with NFC readers. They won't return any data, even though an installed browser might support this API.

1. Was experimentally supported in desktop Chromium browsers behind the enable-experimental-web-platform-features flag.

2. Current implementations only allow communication through the NDEF protocol in order to minimize security and privacy issues.
