Make Chrome browser access smart card reader

[Tarantino]

I would like to implement that my Chrome browser can recognize and access the smart card reader(USB device). But now I can not see it via usb.getDevices. Have anyone done this before? Many thanks.

Use an alternate USB driver, then have a try.
e.g.
- WinUSB
- libusb-win32
- libusbK

You can check Zadig installer for these.

Usually, the device can not be recognized by Chrome App when the native driver from HID Global is used.

I'm using FIDO U2F Extension and modify it. So I can use it to send NativeMessage to an application written by C#. How do you think about this way?
Thank you!

Yes, that is feasible.
You can implement your C# application as server, and the extension as one client, communicate with socket;
And the chrome have apis for socket, here is the document: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/socket
