Google is testing an Unrestricted WebUSB capability for Chrome that allows trusted Isolated Web Apps with the 'usb-unrestricted' permission to access devices and protected interface classes normally blocked by the WebUSB spec (e.g., HID, mass storage, security keys), while still enforcing app-specific allowlists; the feature is slated for testing in Chrome 128 (August 2024).
