Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson “doesn’t work with Linux”. Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine
I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.
Yup, I like using a combo of ungoogled chromium and librewolf depending on which works better for certain websites or web apps . To me, Linux is about using the right tool for the job.
It sure would be nice to have WebSerial as well. For some reason Mozilla seems to think users can’t be trusted with it. They could at least add a compile time option to enable it. If someone knows how to compile a browser, they are probably smart enough not to give random websites access to their devices.
“Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”
“Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”
“Are you sure?”
FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX

I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit…

You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that’s not gonna happen, I’m afraid.
They already did. We are the other universe.
Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try.
You are welcome. Worked fine last time I tried it with e.g. the Teams web client (forced to use it for work still)
And for when switching user agents doesn’t work: ungoogled chromium saves the day
flatpak install ungoogled-chromiumor appimage, arch or deb

I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.
^(I literally cannot wait, it’ll never happen…)
YES. I have to keep chrome installed on at least one desktop or laptop if I want to flash firmware on ESP devices.

It will happen when webUSB is an actual web standard with a proper RFC
That’s why its called “Bloatware”
