Connecting Flipper to lab.flipper.net via Connect button

New user here, i’m trying to install custom firmware bringing me to lab.flipper.net and there is a connect button in the middle and towards the top right of the site. Neither of which appear to connect to the flipper in order to install firmware and plugins, any fix for connecting the device to the web app? Thanks.

Hi! What browser are you using? The lab only works in Chrome, Edge and Opera, as they’re the only browsers to support WebUSB. Other Chromium-based browsers (like Brave) won’t work.

The new chrome browser version 108.0.5359.124 worked straight away after connecting my flipper to the USB. I didn’t need to press any button on my device.

I had Version 108.0.5359.126 (Official Build) (64-bit) there is now a update for Version 109.0.5414.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
After updating Chrome to that Version 109.0.5414.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
it allows the lab connect button to work I had the same issue last night that a few others are having here but appears after going into Chrome clicking the 3 dots at the top right of Google Chrome and going to Help > About Google Chrome appears there was a Google Chrome update which was Version 109.0.5414.75 (Official Build) (64-bit)
for me. Now the lab website connect button works.

Also might want to make sure your not using qflipper as the same time your trying to use the lab website for flipper.

Chrome supports WebSerial API since version 89. If the issue persists with qFlipper and mobile app closed, let me know. @silverbacke @idosiris86

I had the same problem.
In my case I had qflipper opened in the background which already occupies the serial port.
Thus, close all other application which might try to connect to you flipper.

Anyone having that problem, close your qflipper and then re-connect in the supported browser.

Had same problem. Disabled ad blocker for https://lab.flipper.net/ and then all was good!
