    "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

    Just change your useragent to Chrome and it will work

    I'd be very surprised if that actually works. To talk to hardware they would have to use Web Bluetooth or Web USB, neither if which Firefox supports.

    Unless there is some other API I'm unaware of.

    Just use Brave just for that one single purpose. I do it for my keychron keyboards.

    Fuck Brave. Their CEO is a homophobic transphobe asshole who actively donates money to help take away peoples rights, they are shills for a bunch of AI and crypto BS that is inbuilt in the browser, and they at least used to steal affiliate links.

    I am aware, only using the browser to update your firmware means they don't get paid was my point.
