I often try to use Firefox but there are certain things that just became irritating...that were entirely Google's fault. Like Google Meet ONLY working on Chrome.
You click enough links in Slack that open in Firefox, don't work and then you have to C&P the meet link into Chrome...eventually your commitment wears down and you just start using Chrome as the default again.
And I hate that. It's a very IE6 type move on Google's behalf. Short of applications / my system giving me a clear way to say "always open links on this domain in this browser" it makes the workflow a pain.
Maybe the Facebook stuff will make that type of thing more popular. If I could make Firefox my default browser, but always open Facebook and Google links in Chrome I'd be pretty happy. Currently running Linux Mint.
