ONE IMPORTANT THING!!!!
Make sure you do it on a chromium browser. I did it on FF a few years ago and was confused as to why it was failing, but when I switched to Chromium it worked. Idk if they fixed that by now, it's been two years. Not that it bricked my phone or anything, it just took more time.
But yeah the guide is awesome literally just read it.
no worries nowadays as it is in the instructions, even in red clarifying "Unavailable, as your browser doesn't support WebUSB. Please read the prerequisites." after a grayed out button.
There's nothing to fix, Firefox simply does not support the webusb standard required for this yet, unfortunately: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API
Of course google has already enabled support even though the spec is not final. So now the standard will have to follow Chrome's implantation, because so many people already use it.
This is what people mean when they say google practically controls web standards.
