We’re going to have a serious problem on our hands soon with compatibility. I’m a software dev and I’m already seeing a few issues here and there where Chrome is being treated as the default expected browser and features don’t work on Firefox.

Firefox doesn’t support a fair few Chrome features because of security and privacy reasons, such as WebHID, WebUSB, etc.

Devs, please stop using those features. I know it’s tempting, but they’re basically bribes to encourage you to sell out to Google. Don’t do it.

Teams calls for example :( I have chromium on my Debian only for teams.

Teams works in Firefox, I sadly have to use it almost every day interacting with clients who use teams for comms.

idk what to tell you, calls have no sound.

I’ll try again, though.

I’ve not had either of those issues on my laptop, using teams through Firefox. I wonder if there is something else going on there.

One of my company’s customers is a DoD contractor that uses the government version of Teams, which does require Chromium, unfortunately. Or at least, I haven’t found a way to make it work on Firefox yet.
