Anyone still using Chromium or any of its derivatives (including Chrome) just needs to suck it up and admit it's the loser here. Use a Firefox derivative, it's just all around better in every single way.

I had to call someone using Microsoft Teams today. It does not work with Firefox, even if you spoof the user agent.

I don't know what's up with your setup, but this is untrue. I've used Firefox for teams in browser for years with no issues.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at?

Microsoft has been playing this game since forever.

He's getting at Firefox being unusable for one of his usecases. Though i guess you could argue that he could just use something like brave specifically for that use case while using Firefox for other stuff

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess I mean that I'm surprised anyone is surprised when an MS product unexpectedly doesn't work in a non-microsoft environment.

You should be surprised, that is unfair competition.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They've been doing that forever.

And Antitrust in different countries forced them to comply with the law.

Why not just download the teams app?

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

The Teams app is probably just Chromium pointed to the teams website. Might as well have Chrome/Chromium installed at that point.

I’m using both Firefox as my daily browser, and Edge for school related stuff, Firefox is very often maxing out my CPU usage and I can’t figure out why
