OTA = over the air. ie online updates you’d expect of a more polished product

But the browser is involved. Can the browser do OTA to esp32?

The browser connects to a webserver running on the ESP32. Over wifi -> over the air. OTA doesn't mean headless or automatic

I believe the ESP32 runs a small web server that supports WebSerial (?), if you can reach it over WiFi or somesuch, you should be able to upload the new firmware blob that way.

I have about 30-40 esp32 / esphome type devices running. Typically to flash or update a device, you would plug it into your usb port.

esphome can also be flashed "OTA" which just means compiling your project locally, then pushing the binary over tcp/ip and giving an instruction to install it.

With https://github.com/esphome/device-builder you can run a network of multiple esphome builders so you can update many devices at the same time "OTA" (TCP/IP).
