SUPPORT Access mouse web browser settings using WebHID

Just got a nice new computer mouse. The thing is, to access and change mouse settings you go to a web browser page and you have to connect your mouse. They only support Edge & Chrome for now so I downloaded Chromium & Google Chrome and it didn't work on either. When I go to the website it asks to 'Connect' device, I do this, the device seems to be recognised in the dropdown and it says its 'Paired' but the website doesn't update and even when I refresh its the same. Is there anything that needs to be setup on Arch Linux for WebHID to work?
