It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to - Lemmy.world

As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver: For the curious: https://logiwebconnect [https://logiwebconnect]

I kind of see the point in this.

Things I can do with Chrome’ish browsers:

  • Install GrapheneOS
  • Reinstall my Pixel phone.
  • Flash ESPhome devices.

    • All this with a single browser, no 3rd party applications. I think it’s called WebSerial and it’s a neat feature. Quite sad that Firefox doesn’t have it.

    If you can really overwrite your operating system with your web browser, that sounds like a security nightmare.

    It’s a protocol/interface for writing to USB. So whatever you can do over the USB cable with software, you can do from the browser.
