WebUSB is a proposed JavaScript application programming interface (API) standard for securely providing access to USB devices from web pages.[1]
It was published by the Web Platform Incubator Community Group. As of August 2019, it is in Draft Community status, and the only web browser to support it was Google Chrome.[2][1][3]
WebUSB was enabled by default in Chrome 61 on September 5 2017, but was disabled after privacy and security concerns were raised.[4][3][5]
