The website developer can configure which camera to use. Instead of

<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="user" />

it is

<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="environment" />

This doesn’t help you, but it’s cool for a web dev.

Does it work to change that on-the-fly by manipulating the HTML source via the browser's inbuilt dev tools?

It should, but I’m not going to test it because debugging for a smartphone is annoying as fuck.
