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

      Firefox on desktop is awesome. Firefox on mobile is painful.

      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.

                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. @xavier666@lemm.ee

        they start crying when I open Firefox.

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