The correct definition for WebUSB is "Chrome API", as no other browser intends to implement it.

Edge is just a Chromium fork, though.

You shouldn't treat them as different brosers. They're just skins.

They're chromes (because that's what the UI portion is called)

I don't think that's true. They are different enough.

Chrome-only is not correct either and that's what Chrome API sounds like
