Comment on Install F-Droid apps over USB straight from the browser

Comments

NB: This demonstration requires WebUSB implemented in a desktop browser, which is not supported under Firefox, Safari, or derived browsers (e.g., Tor, iOS browsers).

It claims to be supported by any Chromium-based browser: Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, etc.

Unfortunately, yes.

My own daily driver is Firefox, so I basically only open Brave just for this website. I personally prefer managing apps on my phone through a browser on my laptop instead of fiddling with F-Droid on the phone.
