sic_1I see no reason to use any other browser than Firefox and maybe Librewolf.
xavier666I am forced to use Chromium on my work laptop because MS Teams doesn’t work (all the features) on Firefox.
DestideWhich features I’ve never had an issue
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.
Does changing user agent mitigate some of those issues?
In a just world, the fact of changing the user agent fixing the issues would make for a slam-dunk anti-trust case.
It really should, no doubt, but this is not a perfect world
If you confront Microsoft with this, then they will say they don’t have enough resources to test “thousands” of browsers which is why they have restricted their efforts to Chromium only, while making billions of dollars in profits each year.
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. @[email protected]
Wow, that’s egregious on so many levels!
This kind of browser apartheid should be illegal

Thanks…time to get an extension.
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.
The custom background effects don’t work on Firefox
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!
Amilo159Firefox on desktop is awesome. Firefox on mobile is painful.
Darth_Vader__Android firefox is ok now. Moreover now it supports add ons too and there are some good add ons there.
BlackmistIt’s a very small number of add-ons, but one of them is uBlock Origin, and that’s all I really want.
If firefox gets more popular then maybe more add ons can appear…
at least they support add ons like CHROME
MaggiWuerzeYou can just change the list of supported add-ons to whatever you like.
Only if you tie your browser with an account at Mozilla. No way to do it without an account.
Only if you need your list. Otherwise you can just switch the list I’d to one including your extensions
🇵🇸 Free Palestine 🇵🇸Where can I change this list?
In den Einstellungen unter “Benutzerdefinierte Add-on-Sammlung”. Kann sein, dass du dafür noch den Entwicklermodus aktivieren musst, das machst du indem du 5 mal auf das Firefox Icon im “Über” Menü Tipps.
Dort gibst du dann die NutzerID und den Namen der Sammlung ein.
Englis plss
Sorry forgot to switch :D
Just read this a minute ago. It’ll get easier

Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog
In the coming months Mozilla will launch support for an open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). We’ll announce a definite launch date in early September, ...
you don’t need to do anything since the last month, the vast majority of addons should work out of the box.
Open extensions on Firefox for Android debut December 14 (but you can get a sneak peek today)
Starting December 14, 2023, extensions marked as Android compatible on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) will be openly available to Firefox for Android users. We’ve been so impressed ...
User interface is poor. Cannot customise the gui at all so I feel like it’s a downgrade over Samsung browser that also supports ad blocks.
HorseFDWhat’s wrong with Firefox on iOS? I realise it’s WebKit with a Firefox skin, but it seems to work well enough.
It works pretty well for me, but I use Firefox nightly.
So Mull browser, right?
Yeah top 4 browser are Firefox, librewolf, tor, and mullvad for sure.
mull and mullvad are at least two different things
Autocorrect so strong it turns your browser into a VPN
There is a Mullvad Browser.
Vivaldi seems pretty decent
They claim to be decent, but it’s closed source so who knows…
I am using Brave 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.
