When Microsoft took the Chromium browser as a base for the new Edge version, they replaced over 50 Google services. [1] https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/8/18300772/microsoft-google-...
And they replace them with their stuff? You imply foul play but there is nothing in the list.
Can we receive the signal from these satellites ourselves like we can with the NOAA satellites?
Telemetry, probably; imagery, definitely not. (They sell this imagery, it's not public information like NOAA data.)

Right you are.
Do note that it works fine on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine with Intel graphics on the motherboard, in Firefox 68.
I can't believe I've never wondered this before, but I wonder how possible it is to deliberately create a satellite-blocking cloud above one's own property. What height and size it would have to be, etc.
You can access their monthly imagery for free by creating an account at planet.com. I use it to track the progress of infrastructure and other land development projects near me. You can also create time lapse animations of a particular area, which is a super fun way to watch a road or a highway being built.

The visualisation works fine in newest Firefox on Linux, though only in Chromium do I get the sound effects (like a high pitched fan noise)
But the planet needs a JavaScript programming competition with the challenge of minimizing CPU load of such fantastic presentations.
It would be so good to have one golden path to browser animations with the lowest energy consumption, one default framework that will be easy to use without deep knowledge of browser quirks and JavaScript optimization tricks.
We are wasting too much time.
