I looked at the webUSB support article and it indicates that it works on android.
I created a program and saved it.
I cleared the editor then loaded it.
When i click load button then click 'pick a file' link
I get the android window 'chrome needs access to camera and record video'
It then pops up 'chrome needs to record audio'
I click allow on both pop ups and it then offers 4 icons.
Camera, camcorder, audio and files.

Chrome already had access to storage.

How do i find my android version if you need it?
EDIT---
you go to settings/phone / software
My android version is 8.1.0
Samsung experience version 9.5
---END
Chrome is version 75.0.3770.101

Is there something missing on that pick a file link that would indicate to chrome that it only needs access to storage

Hi @rhubarbdog,

When clicking "pick a file" the browser passes control to an app in your device and at that point the PythonEditor is no longer in control.
I am not aware of a way to reduce the permissions that android might think it needs, but it's certainly something we can look into.

Just so you're aware this doesn't happen with chromium version 9.2.10.15
So it's a feature/bug with chrome on android
