it's a chrome application not an html5 one. It only works on one browser (and its forks) because it uses proprietary, nonstandard apis.

there isn't a browser based usb api. It's as simple as that. You're coding for chrome, not the web

Chrome, edge, opera, brave and many more. Just Safari doesn't support it, as always lagging behind. Firefox is out of the equation long ago.
