https://console.canokeys.org/ Also needs webusb to work, that's a security key's control panel.

Also, I wonder why we still don't support webusb? I'm seeing more devices are using webusb to implement their control panel, such as mouse and keyboard.

That is answered in the Standards Position linked from the "See Also" field. Please do not re-hash those arguments HERE in this bug, they are off-topic. This bug is gathering data about web compatibility problems, ONLY.
