weird to make a web app designed for linux users that's only compatible on chromium browsers, not sure they know their audience

It's an unfortunate issue with hardware web interface limitation. The low-level Web APIs (WebHID, WebUSB, and WebSerial) only Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera). Mozilla (Firefox) and Apple (Safari) have explicitly refused to implement them.

I mean I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about this but the web software for both my keyboard and mouse works on Firefox without issue, I'd expect a controller wouldn't be much different :(
