The only think I can't do in FF is flash an esp32. It's the only reason I have chrome installed.

There are multiple dedicated ESP32 flashing programs available for most operating systems, there should be no reason to use any web browser to flash a microcontroller.

The fact this even needs to be said says a lot about modern web browsers, and software development in general.

I believe ESPHome has a web flasher that only works on Chrome or Edge. It's a simple way to prepare your devices.

WebUSB is handy for things like factory resetting a pixel, where it's one of many options available... what I don't like is when manufacturers decide to only allow their device to be configured over webusb (looking at you various mech keyboard companies 🤬)

I never learned how to use that, just used the CLI tools like fastboot and adb for all that
