A new CEO for Mozilla

Here's an example. I have a few Bafang mid-drive motors on my cargo bikes. There are a bunch of useful settings that you can change, and much like a customizable linux desktop, I usually don't like the stock settings that the vendor programmed. It used to be that you needed some (free as in beer) windows program to update the settings, but someone reverse-engineered the protocol and people have written various (free as in freedom) programs to update settings (eg, https://github.com/horga83/bdac). That's all fine and good, but I really didn't want to have to build/install random software that I'll only use once every 5-10 years when I get a new motor. Turns out someone wrote *a website* that can update the motor settings. Which is amazing. As simple as just plugging my laptop into the bike, going to a website, turning on the motor, and punching in the new settings that I want. I don't have to mess around with containers and host permission to ttyS*, or pulling down 50 python dependencies and realizing that something was written in python2 but never updated for python3 and debian no longer supports python3, and and and.. I just go to https://devnotes.kymatica.com/BafangWebConfig/BafangWebCf... and do the thing.

But that website works in chromium but not firefox, because it "requires a browser with support for Web Serial API, and should work on any recent version of Chrome, Opera or Edge." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Seri... says that it was added with chrome 89, which would've been mid-2021.
