This API will not yet be exposed to Service Workers registered by sites but the implementation experience gained by supporting the API for extensions will be valuable for such a future project. Blink componentBlink <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink>>HID MotivationAs Chrome Apps APIs will soon be deprecated <https://developer.chrome.com/docs/apps/migration/>, developers are encouraged to migrate to web apps or Chrome Extensions. For the Chrome Extension case, Manifest V3 deprecates the background page and requires developers to migrate to service workers <https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/migrating_to_service_workers/>. As a result, it is required to support WebHID in Extension Service Workers. RisksInteroperability and CompatibilityGecko: No signal, we have asked for a position on WebHID in extensions (WebHID (Human Interface Device) API · Issue #459 · mozilla/standards-positions · GitHub <https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459#issuecomment-1162459878> ). WebKit: No signal, opposed to the Web Serial API in general. Web developers: Extension developers previously used WebHID and other device APIs from the background page and have requested that it continues to be available after migrating to Manifest V3. Other signals: Extension team approves of exposing these APIs to extension service workers.
