I don't "bypass" Chrome when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Firefox. I don't "bypass" Windows when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Linux. No idea why so many "hackers" doing "bypasses" can't instead take action that is simpler, long lasting, and easier. Do people need to jerked around 50 times for 20 years before realizing it will keep happening and their "bypasses" are just temporary bandaids?

Firefox still doesn't work.

1 - Google Meet consumes 40%-100% of my CPU on Firefox, and my laptop becomes a space heater

2 - My Yubikeys don't work. Touching them doesn't get into any of the websites I use that use 2FA.

So, no Firefox.

Is this on Linux? Do you have an example of a website where Yubikey does not work? I'm curious, because I use Firefox on Linux for years, also for work, and never hit a site where my Yubikeys would not work. (I'm also using Google Meet regularly for work from Firefox without problems)

Yes, Linux.

No site works for me. Facebook, Google, none of them work. Even the demo at https://demo.yubico.com/webauthn-technical/ does not work.

about:config

Search for accel, look up the 'layout...' key, set it to true.

Also, set the webgl force enabled... key to true too.

That's strange. I use a yubikey under Linux/FF and it works like a charm and has done so since I started using them years ago.

Both yubikes and gotrust idem kyes also work for me just fine. Maybe i am using them just for fido 2 factor and not some of the other protocols?

Well, mine doesn't work, so I'm still using Chrome. When they make it work, I'll switch to Firefox. There should really be a big fat "report bug" button on all these apps that captures logs and sends it with 1-click permission and a voice recording to explain what's wrong, like Tesla FSD's bug reporting system. I don't have bandwidth to deal with their community forums and all the crap it takes to register for them.
