When I try to run the example from Node it gives

/webusb/node_modules/webusb-serial/index.js:66
    navigator.usb.requestDevice({filters: self.filters })
    ^

ReferenceError: navigator is not defined

Seems this library for Browser but when I use it as a browser code require is not defined. Seems example need to updated.

it is made for browsers, however there is a webusb for node project here: https://github.com/thegecko/webusb

My example is assuming that you're using a bundler such as browserify or webpack to build for browser
