Vivaldi may need an epilepsy (or similar) warning #25

vivaldi dims down the entire browser window (and I do not mean fade, it just gets dark immediately) when the popup for pressing the button comes up, which while it does make sense to get attention this is really ugly to look at when updating or reflashing, and obviously may result in bad stuff with people senstivive to such rapid flashing of the whole screen when the browser is maximized.

The real solution for this is that we package up the update into e. g. an Electron app, and use WebHID. Relying on the hack we use currently (original intent: easy cross-browser support) just isn't supportable, as each browser has its own idiosyncrasies, as you've noticed. Won't happen today or tomorrow though.

why not just use native applications instead of electron? I mean as far as I know/remember electron is kinda bulky needing far more storage and ram as normally needed by being its own browser
