    I see no reason to use any other browser than Firefox and maybe Librewolf.

      I am using Brave on iOS mainly because of its superb YouTube support - It has a built in ad block, can download videos offline and play minimized. Is there any way I can achieve this with any other browser? I would switch immediately.

      I am forced to use Chromium on my work laptop because MS Teams doesn’t work (all the features) on Firefox.

      Edit: I should elaborate this a bit. There are 2 reasons why I use Chromium on my machine.

      1. If I face a problem, company tech team only knows Chrome and they start crying when I open Firefox.
      2. On Linux, the official way to use Teams is through a web-app and Firefox doesn’t support PWAs.

      All other MS services function fine on Firefox.

          Same. I use furefox for everything* at work, despite everything being heavily integrated with teams, sharepoint, et.al.

          *: The only thing that doesn’t work with firefox is this inhouse web service that hasn’t been updated since 2017. It’s about to be replaced anyway, so nobody bothered to fix/update it.

          Simple one-to-one calling is disabled saying it’s only available on Chrome. I’m pretty sure it’s recent since I had calls a few months back on Firefox. I’m also sure that it’s not some group policy since I’m on Ubuntu without any sort of ActiveDirectory so it’s a pure browser issue. Also, they force the old UI in Firefox due to some reason. Typical BS from Microsoft.

              In a just world, the fact of changing the user agent fixing the issues would make for a slam-dunk anti-trust case.

              I’ve tried it today and yeah, 1-to-1 calls magically/unsurprisingly start working. In fact, the whole UI gets a facelift and lots of new features.

              If I had to guess, I’d say Microsoft keeps around a version of their UI, which hasn’t been maintained in over a year, and serves that to anyone initiating communication with a user-agent string they don’t like.

              If that’s true, that’s a massive security vulnerability. Admittedly, also unsurprising for Microsoft. @xavier666@lemm.ee

        I use Firefox as my primary browser and run the teams app.

        they start crying when I open Firefox.

        Good. Use it anyway, and bathe in their tears!
