"Browsers" but it's all just Chromium under the hood.

And afaik Firefox and its forks also have the API required for this to work. (Communicate over USB)

Firefox explicitly doesn't support webUSB because they consider it harmful: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webusb

Thanks for sharing. Then the news I read might have been them being explicit about it. Or I'm confusing it with WebGPU or something...

Ran into this with online keyboard configurators too.

Just keep Ungoogled Chromium installed for these use cases

I am tired of seeing that icon in my menus and stuff though. Also, each time the flatpak is updated for librewolf it pushes Chromium back as the default browser.

but yes, begrudgingly agree
