what i don't get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser...
i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work
Just use Firefox
I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.
As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It's frustrating as hell.
I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.
I've been a long time FF user, and if I encounter a buggy site I just wouldn't use it. Only problematic site is fucking Teams, and since I can't just stop using it, I'll switch to brave for the meeting and right back to FF after.
That's perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards
