WebHID implements the
Features:
- Full W3C-spec-compliant WebHID polyfill, with a WASM-based HID descriptor parser producing collections output matching Chromium's
- High-performance WebSocket + SharedArrayBuffer data plane, with optional fire-and-forget sendReport mode (~3ms avg latency vs ~50ms over Native Messaging)
- Cross-platform HID access via hidapi (Linux, Windows, macOS), with stable device IDs that survive reboots
- Automatic reconnection across 4 layers (Native Messaging host, WebSocket, worker, SAB drain loop) with exponential backoff
- Native hot-plug device monitoring (udev on Linux, RegisterDeviceNotification on Windows, IOHIDManager on macOS)
- Per-site settings via popup (fire-and-forget, SAB toggle, SAB buffer capacity) plus global defaults (including log level)
- Security: FIDO/U2F device blocklist, localhost-only WebSocket, token authentication over the WebSocket subprotocol, toggleable COOP/COEP header injection
Requires a companion daemon to communicate with HID hardware. Download and setup instructions available at: https://github.com/K4zoku/FF-WebHID
