openscreenprotocol VS web-bugs

I had no clue Chrome already used Openscreen Protocol! I thought it was just an in-progress idea & that their casting ecosystem was all something different. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol

It's lamentable that so far this very cool part of the web has no open interoperable solutions. I'm so delighted to see this hackery & hear it works!! I really really really hope it sticks, until a real answer is provided.

There is a great lovely w3c spec to do Chromecast, but as an open protocol. A remote control protocol for the web. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol

I really hope we can do it. So far it's almost exclusively Google putting the work, to take their tech (derived from Netflix's common sense/simple Dial protocol) & re-protocol-ize it again.

Such amazing benevolence, in my view. But if you want tech to succeed, you need to set it free. If you love it set it free. Create more value than you capture. Again here as in many places, I can say, thank you Google. You empower a great connected medium. It is good. These acts are great.

Stuck in standards hell, but I'm sure Firefox will support it once it gets standardized: https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol/blob/main/explainer.md

There is some work in progress on Open Screen Protoocol along with a very very early prototype implementation, that aims to create an official W3C standard for implementing the W3C Web Presentation API. Hopefully this work proceeds.

The thread is very long, here is the relevant comment:

Microsoft Teams (which I don't think many people use voluntarily) in particular breaks in stupid ways - and then in others if you spoof your user agent.

a link to the video would help with troubleshooting, seems like another case of "this site or this particular feature doesn't support firefox" otherwise report to https://webcompat.com/

Have any of you faced this? If the website is made to open only in chromium-based browsers, I am planning to report to Webcompat. But before that, I thought I would make sure from others. Any experience or quick fix would be appreciated.

Teams was a classic hellhole for me when I was using Linux. Nowadays it lets you in but Firefox genuinely doesn't support all of the features the Teams site uses. This means certain features are made unavailable to Firefox users. Forcing the user agent makes some of these partially work but they are also still broken so Mozilla doesn't want to enable a user agent override by default and Microsoft doesn't want to enable a feature that only half works.

This GitHub WebCompat issue serves as a good example history https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/77892

having recently looked at a firefox performance regression for filing a bugreport, tooling that tracks performance (quite publicly) sees attention, easy upload to share tracing profiles also helps: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/ind...

Their dedicated blog keeps you posted if firefox perf is your interest https://blog.mozilla.org/performance/

If you have a particular website you notice chromium being significantly faster with, for an easy report, there's https://webcompat.com/ - though bugzilla is better than it seems when coming from github issues
