Description

Hey,
I want to flash my android phone with a custom OS using flash.android.com and grapheneos.org/install/web which both use WebUSB.

However Chrome is the only Chromium-based browser (that I have tested) that does not seem to work for me.

I already made an issue regarding this at GrapheneOS.
See https://github.com/GrapheneOS/grapheneos.org/issues/890.

Does anybody know how one might troubleshoot this kind of stuff.
Because it just seems odd to me that it works everywhere else.

Research direction

The report names flash.android.com and grapheneos.org/install/web, with a related GrapheneOS issue, but it identifies no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the WebUSB failure in Chrome versus another Chromium-based browser and compare the browser or Flatpak environment; done would require an identified cause and a verified fix.
