There are multiple dedicated ESP32 flashing programs available for most operating systems, there should be no reason to use any web browser to flash a microcontroller.
The fact this even needs to be said says a lot about modern web browsers, and software development in general.
WebUSB is handy for things like factory resetting a pixel, where it’s one of many options available… what I don’t like is when manufacturers decide to only allow their device to be configured over webusb (looking at you various mech keyboard companies 🤬)
The only think I can’t do in FF is flash an esp32. It’s the only reason I have chrome installed.

I never learned how to use that, just used the CLI tools like fastboot and adb for all that
How do you factory reset a Pixel through web?

Familiarizing yourself with esptool is better anway.
Probably so. I’ve been having trouble with getting my boards to work with the esphome site, so I’ve just been using the flashing utility from esp.
