That's totally true, though, in this case with LEDs I feel like the rebound effect is less of a problem here. The LEDs are not only using less electricity, but they're far brighter with addition to using less electricity for that brightness. It means that even if somebody decides to fill their room with 5 LED lamps with 806 lumens instead of 1 incandescent bulb, they'll still waste less energy - in addition with 5 LED lamps of 806lm making your room look like the sun is shining inside.

At least with Firefox Quantum (v57) they have tried to continuously bring in optimizations to bump the performance. In the meantime there has been lots of work with WebRender, a newer and more robust Javascript Engine and better CSS engine which made it get faster every update. Being quite fast and snappy isn't just a placebo since Firefox has lately started to get better Speedometer scores than Chrome
Since the Hue bulbs are using the Zigbee standard, you can still safely buy them in the foreseeable future and just connect it with something like SkyConnect, zzh!, Conbee, etc. and use it with Home Assistant
