      “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)

          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

        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.

          I think it is WebUSB. There is a similar problem with GrapheneOS where the web installer only works with Chromium-based browsers because Firefox does not support it yet.
