Disable WebUSB

Disable WebUSB is a Chrome extension that disables the WebUSB API. It has no configuration settings, and is suitable for force-installing via Chrome Enterprise management.

Why?

WebUSB provides access to devices that may not be designed with an adversarial threat model in mind, protected only by a permissions dialog that does not make the risks clear.

Given the lack of widely-deployed uses of WebUSB, disabling it is a prudent defense-in-depth measure.
