Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

Did you try agent spoofing (which probably won't work in the future because of this). This sounds like things Microsoft (and now Google) does to make their product look better.

I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks!

I actually tried this last month and it works! Firefox already support features needed to enable background effects on Google Meet, but Google is dragging their ass to actually allow Firefox to use the feature so you'll have to spoof your user agent.
