> Also https://frt.rip, a whoopie cushion with spatial audio

This may be the most magnificent phrase I have ever read on the internet.

But when I visit in Firefox (mostly vanilla, on Pop!OS), a scary warning pops up that the site is trying to do something to my machine, with no context of what. I presume that "spatial audio" requires some support beyond just whatever my browser already knows how to do, but.... what?

Hey, it works with no warnings on my phone! Oh, and that audio is glorious. Juicy. Extravagant.

This is going on my smallest most concealable Bluetooth speaker...

Thanks. The spatial audio is just a feature of the excellent https://howlerjs.com/.

But I added MIDI keyboard support to the secret fart piano recently and thus Firefox throws up a scary warning. It's now disabled unless you access https://frt.rip#midi. But you can also use your computer keyboard to play/fart a little tune, see Web Inspector for instructions :)
