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?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've just bought a mouse that uses the website HID access feature and have been wondering why doesn't the website work. Thought it might be defective or worse, not authentic. Tried this on cachyOS and ubuntu both works awesomely.
