Time to switch back to text-only browsers.
I don’t live in Germany though, so I don’t have to worry about this legislation or do anything about it 😂

Germany is the biggest economy in Europe and if this somehow passes it could spill over to the EU commission in no time. The Brussels effect could then take care of the rest. Laughing off fascist laws because they do not affect you right now is exactly the reaction fascists like them want you to have so they can corner you.

Plus what if this hits the US and everywhere else too?

OpenSuSE is German, I’m having to wonder if I need to prepare switching distros in case they have to remove Firefox from their repos. I’ll need to research the flatpak to see if it works with webcams for video conferencing.

It should.

I know that my preferred browser (librewolf) does not and doesn’t have a native build for OpenSuSE and often has problems with video conferencing in the flatpak. Its the only reason I’ve kept vanilla firefox installed.

Interesting. I have flatpack Chrome and camera works (hence my it should). OTOH I have dnf Firefox and camera doesn’t work because ‘You did not allow the browser to use the web camera. Reload the page and try again.’ I guess (your) Firefox issue might not be related to flatpak. (Fedora 42/KDE)
