@balloob OH SWEET!!! Does this mean that web apps like VIA (I had to use that to configure my Keychron keyboard) might soon also work in Firefox instead of only in Chrome? 😄

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@balloob/116398481380578311 The only reason I have Chromium installed is for webserial. I haven't had the need to use anything but Firefox for years otherwise. Awesome.

@balloob I tried https://web-serial-app.netlify.app/ with it - it works now, but the popup for the devices doesn't show except for a short moment, accepting 'test-device-1' - with block or allow. Any ideas? Would be nice to get it working, happy to update it

Nobody (except like half the people here) will EVER understand how long I've waited for Firefox to put this feature in! Maybe Keybard will work in Firefox-based browsers now!
