nit: The WebUSB API isn't really a part of "HTML 5"

https://wicg.github.io/webusb

The correct definition for WebUSB is "Chrome API", as no other browser intends to implement it.

Edge supports WebUSB.

Edge is just a Chromium fork, though.

Yes, but so is Chrome and many other browsers.

You shouldn't treat them as different brosers. They're just skins.

Chrome-only is not correct either and that's what Chrome API sounds like

“Chromium API” then.

They're chromes (because that's what the UI portion is called)

I don't think that's true. They are different enough.

we're talking about the engine, not the skin put on it. They're only different in the ui
