Manifest V3 updates landed in Firefox 127
  • Just in case somebody only reads the title and wants to ready their pitchforks:

    And to reiterate a couple important points we’ve communicated in our previous updates published in March and May:

    • The webRequest API is not on a deprecation path in Firefox
    • Mozilla has no plans to deprecate MV2
  • Twitch is now blocking firefox
  • That's the solution if you immediately tried to login and it didn't work.

    Twitch login has in general very misleading error messages. The exact same message with unsupported browser also appears if you take too long to login

  • Report: EU may not force Apple to make iMessage interoperable with other services
  • In the article, it specifically mentions "Business users" and I can torally agree on that. Not many people use iMessage here in the EU or Switzerland anyway and for business I would say practically zero. I have seen bussiness use Threema, Wire, Telegram, Slack or Google Meet.

    And heck, if businesses here have customer live chat with messenger, it's either WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

    I personally never had to use iMessage after the rise of WhatsApp - neither privately nor in bussiness.

  • Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
  • Since the Hue bulbs are using the Zigbee standard, you can still safely buy them in the foreseeable future and just connect it with something like SkyConnect, zzh!, Conbee, etc. and use it with Home Assistant

  • That's totally true, though, in this case with LEDs I feel like the rebound effect is less of a problem here. The LEDs are not only using less electricity, but they're far brighter with addition to using less electricity for that brightness. It means that even if somebody decides to fill their room with 5 LED lamps with 806 lumens instead of 1 incandescent bulb, they'll still waste less energy - in addition with 5 LED lamps of 806lm making your room look like the sun is shining inside.

  • Mozilla opposes Web Integrity API proposal
  • At least with Firefox Quantum (v57) they have tried to continuously bring in optimizations to bump the performance. In the meantime there has been lots of work with WebRender, a newer and more robust Javascript Engine and better CSS engine which made it get faster every update. Being quite fast and snappy isn't just a placebo since Firefox has lately started to get better Speedometer scores than Chrome

  • Has anyone tried to let 2 homes communicate with each other?
  • What you could do is have one of the HAs install the custom integration remote-homeassistant. However, even then it would mean that you have to somehow make your instance available outside e.g. VPN, port forwarding, cloud service, ...

    This one connects with the instance directly via a long-lived token and allows you to control and read date from the other instance. The good thing though: The configuration.yaml way allows you to specificially include or exclude entities. So with that you could technically only send the entities from slimmelezer+ without having to pass the other info.

    I would say the only caveat would be that because the long-lived token is somewhere on the other house's instance, they could technically take it and send commands randomly to your instance :P Maybe with an extra user you could maybe limit the permissions or something similar and create the long-lived token there - haven't tried it though, just a thought.
