Hello,

It's unfortunate that the WebUSB API does not support smart cards readers.
With the navigator.usb.requestDevice() method, the user can select a device 
and thus authorize it to use it.
Why would it then be blocked?

Interesting initiative with too many restrictions to use.

Have you got a solution ?

Thank's a lot,
Fabien
