I’m traveling out of the country (from USA to EU) and bought a couple converters for my electronic devices (tablet, phone, etc). My question is, can I leave the charging “bricks” with the standard plug at home and use the USB outlets on my converter to charge my devices or will that harm them. I think all it could potentially do is slow the charging on the ones that increase the wattage, but am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Nope you’re good, USB uses a standard protocol.
Source: I have to travel a lot and have been charging my devices all over the world without their bricks
Thing to note is that some devices such as the Nintendo Switch apparently don’t follow standard USB protocol and they could die if used without their bricks, but I’ve been ignoring this for past 4 years and nothing has happened to my switch yet.
