Firefox

LMAO Opera??? Jesus, Logitech. I love my Logitech mouse but this is reason enough to go with someone like Corsair next time I need one.

these sort of shitty browser support walls on sites worry me more about the browser DRM Google is developing

Tech is becoming aids. I miss the day you had an aux cable and a USB cable and that's all the fuck you needed.

They used to force you to download a random app to get your peripherals connected, which was incredibly annoying for me. Didn't think they could find a way to make things even more annoying. No more Logitech peripherals for me I guess.

If this tool runs in the browser, I bet it's using the WebUSB API, which Firefox doesn't appear to support: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/USB

Want to actually stop this? Buy a device & return it because of this. Now repeat once a week at a different store. Use cash.

This still does not justify having to use a web app to plug peripherals to a PC.

Unify is so you can add several devices to a single USB dongle. The keyboard itself should work out of the box without using that website, that's an extra feature

I was already moving toward never buying Logitech again, but this shit seals the deal.

This recent trend of using the browser window to handle logins and authentication is lame. Several apps that I use at work use the browser for file tracking too. You open a shared file, which opens the browser, which then opens the program with the correct file. Like what the fuck? It's lazy and annoying. They polute your workspace with open tabs that you never wanted. If they're going to use the browser for handling everything, then just make it a fucking web app! But nooo! You need to download our program so that we can track you, even though we actually use the browser for all of the functionality.

Something something, Linux?

you can still do this without the webapp https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Logitech_Unifying_Receiver

They support opera but not firefox -_-

Would be an instant return for me. Last one I bought didn't require anything (MX Master 3S) and just works out of the box with any machine, luckily.

This reminds me that we need a windows port of Solaar (https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar)

Soo... Bye Logitech, it was good while it lasted with you.

Is WebUSB on Firefox unsupported as in "not implemented at all" or as in "available solely on the nightly build with a specific about:config flag on"?

Oh neat. We're back to the bad old days of "This website requires IE Version 6."

Was gonna replace my g502 with a new one but I'll be looking at other brands now.

VIA jumped onboard to this proprietary stuff, too: https://usevia.app

It's a real shame. Related threads for both Logitech and VIA:

Logitech has been making atrociously shitty fucking internet based software for pretty decent hardware since the first harmony remote back in 2001. Only buy their hardware if it absolutely will never require software of any kind imo

Are you fucking serious?
