WebUSB

WebUSB is a JavaScript application programming interface (API) specification[1] for securely providing access to USB devices from web pages.[2]

It was published by the Web Platform Incubator Community Group. As of July 2021, it is in Draft Community status, and is supported[3] by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, QQ, Opera, and Samsung Internet.

WebUSB was enabled by default in Chrome 61 on September 5, 2017, disabled briefly after privacy and security concerns were raised, and enabled again.[4][5][6][7]
