I'd prefer if they'd release it as a flatpak. Making it browser based chains you to chromium browsers, since Firefox decided a while back that exposing USB devices directly to the internet was too much of a security concern. Ran into that issue with my keyboard.
Firefox supports WebSerial now: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/web-serial-support-in-firefox/
Firefox already has a website permission system, weird they don't just let users choose if they think the risk is worth it or not.
